Comment Surprisingly; I feel safer (Score 2) 381
I know its totally the wrong feeling to have, but when I see a CCTV camera I look around and feel safe.
The caveat on this is that I still see cameras in some places and think "OMG, They can see me naked!" But if I'm wandering around in (most) public places I find my brain thinking "Oh wow.. well, if I get roughened up by some nice gentlemen at least the police will be able to find the gents who did this to me and give them a stern talking to and a discouragment for that sort of future activity" [1]
I then feel guilty for thinking these 'safe' thoughts about CCTV cameras and wonder what the privacy and trust crazies [2] would think of me.
[1] please note: actual language used may infact me different.
[2] To be fair, most of the privacy and trust crazies I know are actually pretty damn fine people and ver down to earth.. except that one.. with the tin foil hat!.. DUDE! you arent fooling anybody!
