Who won't like to be Big Brother? To become the all-seeing, controlling god of all? Well, perhaps not "domineering god of all" but being the all-seeing person will be just as commanding, don't you think? That could be one basis why there are a lot of issues when it comes to using hidden spy cameras, assault of privacy being one of these. Power is actually something that everyone hates and, paradoxically, everybody likes. Spy cams, while they're a benefit to a particular person, can be so hurtful to the other. They can be a vital tool or something that will bring you down.

There is this one situation involving a teacher who made use of a hidden camera cloaked as a button to videotape misbehaving students in school. The students as well as their families have filed charges against the said professor for "misusing her authority" and taping the students without their permission. True, it was illegal for the teacher to do it, but if we evaluate the other manner, we can notice that what the teacher was basically doing was exposing these behavioral concerns to the public so that they could be addressed appropriately. I am somewhat sure that the Virginia Tech tragedy is still fresh on everyone's minds. Such behavioral leanings could have been recognized earlier and consequently stopped the tragedy from occurring. If a hidden spy cam is what it entails to stop such tragic episodes, then I would not mind teachers filming their students at school in any way.

But then, there are also some who misuse the benefits of hidden video cameras. I will suppose all are aware of concerns of scandalous demeanor caught on video that are being used to blackmail a person. Or those that blatantly invades other individual's privacy as in placing covert cameras in areas wherein surveillance isn't important, like the restroom or personal rooms for reasons of personal gratification or malicious intent. Stalking utilizing spy video cameras is also another form of abuse of this technology.

But there is one thing that shocks me. Some homeowners use nanny cameras to regulate their baby-sitters and house helpers while they're away. And these nannies aren't conscious of the placement of the spy cam until they get caught performing some hanky-panky and dealt with about it. However, no one appears to be whining. When they get caught mistreating a kid or doing something inappropriate, the issue of the nanny's right to privacy is never raised. It's because the owners have the power to do whatever they like to protect the family and the nanny did something wrong.

Thus, when is the utilization of covert surveillance cameras defensible and when is it not? Seemingly, the thin red demarcation dividing them is much thinner than we thought. When the person utilizing the surveillance camera is in power, its utilization is justified. However, if choosing to use hidden spy cameras would make us more secured, then I'm for it. Moreover, why would I be concerned about it when I'm not doing anything that is against the rules or is morally wrong? Yet as long as they keep well behind the line, it would not be a concern.
