Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

To what extent, if any, do you think surveillance/security cameras should exist? (sh.itjust.works)

Legislature Building? Around Courthouses? Banks? Public Transit? Schools? Traffic? On the Streets? Should they exist in all of these places, only some of them, or none at all? What's your opinion?

(Btw: I remember my highschool had them, felt kinda creepy since I distrust the school admin, like... even the other places with cameras didn't feel as weird)

At intersections, front porches, dashcams, on policemen. Not in schools (is it even legal to videotape children like that?) Not on public sidewalks.

I understand them in private businesses, too. But a network of surveillance, no.

(is it even legal to videotape children like that?)

Apparantly it is, at least in some parts of the United States of America. AFIAK, its allowed in hallways, but not classrooms, but somehow, its allowed in the cafeteria.
