I wouldn't want a camera looking over my shoulder. I think "trust" should be practiced more often.

Hidden cameras ARE a waste of time and money in most situations. Pay your employees MORE with that money. .

both sides of the argument are having trouble figuring out if its even doing anything. there seems to be no correlation between the cctv cameras and crime decreasing. maybe they should have used the money for more officers.

Whatever the correct action is, they are still wasting time on the cameras. So reguardless of weather or not there is a better us of the money they should stop using the cameras (if they are pointless of course).

You might be right that the cameras don't really help prevent anything, however in many situations CSI has been able to use camera to determine how when and who did the crime. .

that is true.
