They are literally everywhere. I can't go any place without being watched. I just want some privacy. The most alarming part is that they put cameras on all entrances and exits so they can know who's entering or leaving. Why do they need to stalk me as I go about my day? The area I live in is overall pretty safe so I don't see the justification.

I have also noticed that some people actually feel safe where there are cameras. I get that people can get scared but I don't think creating a giant network of mass surveillance is the answer.

What is this dystopian future we have marched into.

I want to punch people in the throat who say "YOU HAVE NO EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY IN A PUBLIC PLACE" because like, yeah, I know, I'd fucking like to though.

In that case why can't I photograph the cameras? They are in the public after all.

Who has told you that you can’t photograph the cameras?
