security cameras

I have been thinking about it and I think that having security cameras and surveillance cameras and just about any type of security system is just fine with me. I am a senior citizen and I have lived my life as a reasonably good citizen and a reasonably honest person (except for the occasional little white lie) and if I am out in this public world that we live in, I just really don't care if there is surveillance security any place that I am probably going to go. It can stop so many crimes and if it does not stop them, it may catch the villain and help out the victim in doing so. I guess I am less worried about my overall freedom being invaded than I am that surveillance cameras can slow down that perpetrator that is so desperate that they are going to knock down that unsuspecting person at the ATM and take all of the money they just drew out to get them through the week. I'd rather that security system or those surveillance cameras be able to pick out my pretty face and pleasantly plump physical attributes scratching my hind end or picking my nose or making those faces that I make when I am talking to myself, than I would for some jackass stealing from the store or the purse of that little old lady like me inside the store or high jacking someone in the parking lot. If I had my way, there would be surveillance security systems in place on every major street corner, at every major traffic light, on every car of anyone who felt like they needed a security system with them in their day to day business. I know people who feel like their privacy is being invaded because of the security cameras that seem to be everywhere these days. Well, maybe they are just not comfortable with what they do in their day to day comings and goings. If you are not doing anything wrong, why would you worry if the security cameras caught you going to the bank at 1:30 p.m., then saw you again at 3:15 p.m. at the grocery store, then at 4:00 p.m. at the liquor store. Oh, it's that liquor store I bet. Well, if the world doesn't know that you drink or have friends that drink, then don't go there. I guess, I don't want Big Brother in my house, but honestly, the poor person that had to review THOSE surveillance camera films would kill themselves from the boredom.
