NPOV

I take issue with the statement "mass surveillance by the state may constitute surveillance abuse if not appropriately regulated" in that it contains a judgement that mass surveillance is not abusive under most circumstances. Isn't the very concept of mass surveillance contrary to societal norms regarding expectations of privacy? Alvis 04:40, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This looks bogus:

Women’s privacy rights are particularly vulnerable to video surveillance technology. “Up-skirting” and “down-blousing”—using camera cell phones to surreptitiously take pictures up women’s skirts or down their blouses—has become something of a trend on college campuses and city streets. Police officers have used video surveillance cameras to engage in such conduct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.81.136.8 (talk) 22:56, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Start over

Maybe on this article. There is one reference in the material otherwise just a list of sources without specific reference to the material. I removed part of some ranty thing about implanting Rfid chips. Apparently this article is not watched much because the base of it is not sourced and reads like someones personal essay project.

A camera that is installed inappropriately?

Why is there such a thing as a camera that is installed inappropriately? 208.59.132.152 (talk) 04:58, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
