Blog Entry 2: Comment On Gerald's Posting

Even though I agree with Gerald that the fact that the invasion of privacy is a major disadvantage due to the installation of the CCTV, I believe that this is more of a one-sided statement. From an ordinary people’s perspective, we may think that the installation of the CCTV is an invasion of privacy to our lives. However, from a police perspective, we may think that CCTV is an excellent detection toll. Nevertheless, it only helps some preplanned crimes and even then there are ways to thwart its effectiveness (i.e. Hats/Hoods). Therefore, neither the police nor the ordinary people are at fault as when there is gain, there will also be pain.
