What are your crime statistics like on the Netherlands?
What type of crimes top your list?
I think your point is valid in that there needs to be balance. I live in South Africa where the nature of crime and the frequency of crime is horrendous. we could do with a lot more surveillance through cameras.
We have about 430k registered theft cases, of which many of them are bycycles and theft from car. Of course, this is not the complete picture, but across the board crime is decreasing year on year and crime with harm to people is also decreasing year on year.
My point is that the government shall not force everybody to 1) register their camera’s as well as 2) force the freedom of access to the camera footage. 1984 is approaching. Dave Eggers wrote an i teresting book as well, the Circle. Both type of societies are based on 100% transparency; while Orwell transparency is towards the centralised government, and Eggers transparency is towards everybody; Both type of societies will result in each individual being imprisoned while not in prison.
