CCTVs are found almost everywhere in Singapore, from Large Banks to Simple Supermarkets. Most people regard CCTV as a form of security, as it surveys the area, and allows the security to have a bird's eye view of the area.
However, technology is a double edged blade, it can be abused. Some People misuse CCTVs as tools to keep track of people, often without their consent, which is plainly spying. There were even cases of security guards collaborating with criminals to pick off easy targets in Shopping Centers.
But, the CCTV is not without its good points. It can reduce the amount of manpower needed to patrol the area, by screening the entire area, and displaying them to the guard on duty.
The Tape from the CCTV can be ultilised as Evidence as well. Human witnesses may not always be 100% accurate, therefore, the information from the human witness can be compared to the tape within the CCTV and be used to judge the case.
