Cameras in public spaces is not a violation of privacy and should be placed in public spaces because it will prevent crime and allow law enforcement to solve crimes quicker. For example, the article on 3SixtyEntegrated by Will Duke states that, "The police department reports a 23% reduction in violent crime across all participating businesses, which highlights the potential of such programs" (Duke). The article also states, "We can see an example of the power of surveillance with the investigation of the 2013 bombing of the Boston Marathon. Surveillance footage ...was used to find the suspects and apprehend them" (Duke). Both quotes prove that cameras should watch all public spaces and is not a violation of privacy.
