Watch the following news broadcast about CCTV (closed-circuit television). Do you think that having video cameras in public places is a good idea?
If you can't see the video, listen to the recording below.
Here are some of the points that were mentioned in the film. Try to organise them into arguments for and arguments against CCTV.
- invades privacy
- safety of the community
- invading every part of your life
- prosecutions with CCTV evidence
- crime prevention
- financial and privacy costs
- intrusion
- feel safer
- protection
- an excuse to have fewer police officers
Thanks Simon ..
Could you change the audio player to another one ? because sometimes we need to go back , forward and know the length of the audio file .. and there are various audio players free you can use , it will be helpful for us.
cheers
