Clarifying this topic, we are asking your opinion about security cameras in the city being a violation of privacy or a way to maintain security in places where there is not the prencense of police officers.

I think it's good to have them.Hence they could solve crimes that occurr very often on the street. I think it does not violate privacy because (generally) people do not do things on the street that can make them look ridicolous, by the simple fact that they are in public. If everyone saw you do something weird, it would be about the same as the cameras in the street did
