Day two Conversation

What is your view about CCTV or security cameras in public places?

I find that installing CCTVs and security cameras in public places are not wrong, but sometimes they are unnecessary.
Firstly, I must mention that to these CCTVs and security cameras, there are both pros and cons. I will talk about the pros first, and then the cons.
The main reasons of the CCTVs and security cameras is to prevent theft and to maintain security in a certain area. Sometimes, we humans make mistake and do not always notice things, thus the patrolling security guards may not come in handy. With the CCTVs and security cameras now installed, security guards can now have a wider scope of view within a store, and thus can be clear of anyone who's trying to either steal something or commit a crime.
However, CCTVs and security cameras would make people feel more uncomfortable and not trusted, and thus this may affect their shopping experience and affext the shop's business.
In this case, there has been research showing that more than 20% of the shop's business has deproved after installing a CCTV and putting the image captured on the screen in front of the cashier. This shows that the customers will feel untrusted and not be able to shop happily. To this, I have a suggestion. The shop owners can actually move the CCTV screen to inside their own staff room, and monitor the store from inside there. If they see any suspicious looking person or article, they can then approach that person.
Thank you la.
