<strong>CCTV</strong> OVERVIEW<br />

- license plate numbers of cars parked at the club and researching the<br />

backgrounds of the vehicles' owners, he tried to blackmail patrons who were<br />

married. Imagine what someone like that could do with a citywide spycamera<br />

system. Also they can know where are the persons with more money<br />

and all that and corrupt the system<br />

- Institutional abuse: Sometimes, bad policies are set at the top, and an entire<br />

law enforcement agency is turned toward abusive ends. That is especially<br />

prone to happen in periods of social turmoil and intense conflict over<br />

government policies. The bad polices are not the only one that use this<br />

information for bad things also the politics corrupt the system and try to<br />

chantage the other persons for their own beneficts<br />

- Discriminatory targeting: Video camera systems are operated by humans<br />

who bring to the job all their existing prejudices and biases. In Great Britain,<br />

camera operators have been found to focus disproportionately on people of<br />

color. According to a sociological study of how the systems were operated,<br />

"Black people were between one-and-a-half and two-and-a-half times more<br />

likely to be surveilled than one would expect from their presence in the<br />

population."
