Are law enforcement cameras an invasion of privacy?

Pro
Law enforcement cameras placed everywhere. In the supermarkets and in the small shops, in the public place and in the automobile. It helps owner to control the business and even help police to register committed crime.

Contra.
Sometimes cameras can picture you in the unattractive situation. The movie about you can be placed on the youtube without your permission.

Like every things in our life the law enforcement cameras could be as evil as good. Now low enforcement camera could be placed not only in the premises or around it but in the automobile as well. In my country in named "Registrators". Useful things I must admit. And amusing. I have seen several youtube movies on the topic: "How to speak with National police". Amusing thing but not for all. For policemen who were pictured by camera it was not amusing and sort of intrusion in their life. Not personal one but intrusion.

Law enforcement camera placed everywhere and sometime the information that you can be recorded is not placed on the right place so that you can be weakly informed about that fact you are on the spotlight. Once in the past I have read about rule, it was psychologistic rule or likely an advice to behave yourself like very world looking at you, like you are on the camera or camera placed everywhere. I tried to lead this rule for some time and frankly speaking admitted at that time that it was not easy. I got caught myself that if I was pictured by camera I would not be a hero. At that time, that was 20 years ago and we didn't hear about enforcement camera at all. Now this camera situated everywhere.

But if we contemplate rigorously on the topic law enforcement cameras are useful thing and only partially intrude in your personal life. In this case they are not intrusion in your life. When you go outside of your private apartment your declare to the world that you are public person and from this point of view all you doing is public affair and picturing you is not intrusion in your life. More over owner of the camera do this not for spotlighting your personally, because for his you are only part of his business, but to lead properly his own business. In that case you are not a person you are average person. And as said in one proverb when died one person it is tragedy, but when one million of people it is statistic. Statistic is impersonal thing like is recording the situation around proper spot. More over it is forbidden to place camera at the really personal places like WC or bath. In this case if some pervert owner do this it is intrusion in person personal life and moreover it is a crime.
