The advantages of CCT surveillance is much more than the disadvantages of it.
Some advantages are that people in places with it will feel much more secure than without it, as they would not be afraid of any theft stealing their things and they would not need to check their belongings constantly. The crime rate would thus definitely drop. People who want to commit crimes in those areas where CCt surveillance are present would certainly think twice. The police would also find it much more easier to find and catch anyone who commits crimes, through the CCT surveillance.
However, there are a few disadvantages. One of them is that it invades our privacy and some people do not like this idea. It is also quite costly and in a country like Singapore, the crime rate is not that high and I do not think it is needed.
I agree for the most part with apollos. I truly think that there are more advantages than disadvantages of CCT surveillance and it should be implemented. However, Apollos, when u said that the advantages are much more than disadvantages, implying CCT survelliance is a good thing, why do you think it is not needed? Is it because there are more advantages but they are lesser when compared to the smaller in number disadvantages?
