Does your high school have cameras in the hallways?
Monday, July 10th, 2006?That’ll be the Day? asked:
Mines is just having some installed now. I think its a violation of privacy and a way of trying to scare students into unquestioning obedience to authority. I understand that thefts and crimes happen in schools however I think that’s just being used as an excuse for the cameras installation, and my school has never had a public problem with theft or other crimes before. And even if crime does happen I don’t think that’s a valid excuse to infringe upon the rights of others.
