The City of San Jose has begun implementing new surveillance areas all over the city, including where you work and some say maybe where you live. Although the plans and implementation has been discussed in business areas, there are some voicing concerns that soon video operators will be watching parks and other recreational areas. Some argue that this form of watching is safe and will promote less crime. Others see it as an invasion of privacy right.
San Jose has acknowledged that the largest theft schemes are inside jobs (employee against the employer). There are plans underway to hide microscopic surveillance where employees work who deal in merchandize and money. The Constitutional question here is whether an employer can hide an unknown camera specifically to watch employees, without telling them. Perhaps the wise thing would be to install the cameras and then inform the employees. And if they consent to the surveillance their schemes are over.
The real question is how far will we let the government secretly intrude on our daily lives. It is a question to be asked.Take a look at the video below. No privacy on a vacation anymore.
