VOICED: Security cameras give little village big complex

In Budina, France, a small village has seen an increase in surveillance cameras from 5 to 12, with plans for a 13th. This expansion, initiated by the town council to combat vandalism, has sparked controversy among the 156 villagers. While the mayor argues that electronic surveillance is necessary due to the absence of local police, many residents feel it infringes on their privacy. The cameras are designed to blur private details, and the mayor claims they have deterred local delinquents. However, the addition of another camera may push the community's tolerance to its limit.
