Police understand they are invading privacy
This was in the July 20 Herald:Police have put up signs informing festival-goers they may be under surveillance for their safety and that they may be recorded, he added.
“We put up between six and eight signs on the boardwalk area,” Supt. Moore said.
He said people should know the cameras won’t be trained on them constantly.
“We don’t want to give people the impression there’s someone there watching them 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.”
Clearly the police understand that people do not want to be under surveillance. They know that law abiding citizens do not like being under constant watch. They recognize that the “If you’re not doing anything wrong you should not care” argument is weak. They admit that people prefer to not be under constant police surveillance. Do they care?
