Should common areas in homes such as living room and kitchen have surveillance cameras?

Where police could monitor, to make sure there are no beatings or illegal activity going on? Not in bathrooms or bedrooms.
Doesn’t it protect one’s constitutional rights by making sure nobody violates them such as if they were to beat you or do illegal activity in your home?
Meilin – the cost would not be as much of a concern as you think. Outfitting a home with plumbing or electrical wiring in every room is much more expensive than a couple of cheap cameras that send the pictures to the cop house which every home can be required to be built with like they are with toilet seats and windows etc.

    Yes. Privacy means my husband could do a lot
    that never happened.
    He was loud and in my face and 100% wrong about things.
    If we were all sure that it did happen- what a different world it would have been for my family.

    That’s Big Brother taking it to a whole other level. That’s 1984 in a nutshell.

    Absolutely not! In the US, that is a clear violation of the law concerning personal privacy. When we are in our own homes, we are afforded the right of personal privacy. If we have police cameras in our own homes, then that violates our right of privacy. It is a different animal to have surveillance cameras in public places. That is because when we are in public, we can’t expect a decorum of privacy outside of the confines of our own living space. Big brother should NEVER, EVER, EVER, be allowed to look into a person’s home unless that person is under investigation by the law and a judge signs off on the warrant.

    Who would pay for this? The tax payer?

    I’m certainly not going to willingly hand my tax dollars over to some cop so that they can spy on my 24/7. I don’t trust them not to record what I do and use it against me, or to hand it round the locker rooms like some kind of porno movie.

    Suppose that you brought a guy home and fooled around on the couch, or that you walked into the kitchen in the middle of the night to get a snack. Some of use don’t sleep with much on, and I’m certainly not going to get dressed up just to get a snack at night.

    There are probably 150 – 200 million homes in the US, including holiday homes, cabins, and trailers. Have you got any idea how expensive that would be to rig up with cameras. You’d need maybe 600 million cameras, plus all of the wiring. The cost of fitting them would be 10s of billions of dollars. Rural areas would be almost impossible to wire up. You could get a camera into the house, but not get a signal out unless you used a satellite transmitter or something. It’s hard enough to get fast enough internet access to stream a single Youtube video in some places, let alone 3 or 4 live video feeds. Oh, and how many people would it take to view all of these cameras 24/7/365. 10 million, 20 million? Who’s going pay for all of that?

    If you want cameras in your house, then pay an alarm company to put them in yourself.

    I’m not willing for my tax dollars to pay for that kind of system, and I don’t trust the feds spying on me. I’ve lived in a dictatorship before, and I’m not going to see the US turned into more of one than it already is.

    Maybe you should read a book called 1984.

    Better yet, read the Constitution. Starting with the 4th Amendment.

    If your house and living conditions are that bad, perhaps you can choose for yourself a service that will monitor the activity in your house. Otherwise, your idea has no merits based on the fact that it would be unconstitutional and would be extremely expensive and not cost effective at all in reducing violence in the home.

    As far as what you added, you are giving certain rights away to allow another entity to supposedly protect your rights in other areas. Again, poor idea to suppose that it would be effective or even remotely tolerated if it were instituted and conducted by a governing body.

    There is nothing in the law that states you can not video tape your own house. Inside or outside. People do it all the time. I did it when i new my son was using drugs inside the house but i did not have proof until i put a camera inside my living room when i was gone. Google it. You will see i am telling the truth on this matter.

    What if the beatings or illegal activity go on in another room? What if you like to have sex in those rooms? Do you REALLY want some stranger to be watching you and your spouse having sex? I didn’t think so.
