Cameras are everywhere, they watch us do everything, and they don't make up lies. Now yes it is arguable that with modern video editing software they may not be eligible for admission as evidence, but they make it pretty hard to say you didn't do something when it was caught on tape.
I used to work in Loss Prevention for a national retailer, and we had cameras everywhere, over cash registers, in the parking lot, in front of the doors to the store and everywhere in between with the exception of restrooms and changing rooms. I would sit in a room for 8 hours a day and watch people who had no idea they were being watched or were to dumb to care carefully look around to make sure no one was looking and slip merchandise in their pocket or purse. Somehow they always seemed surprised when I met them at the door to reward their efforts with a free pair of silver bracelets, and a ride to jail.
CCTV Cameras are a great tool for everything from Loss Prevention, to getting emergency help to traffic accidents on a clogged interstate highway, to dispatching store employees to assist a confused customer standing in a store aisle too long. They provide a valuable service from helping retailers keep prices low to saving lives. It is important to remember someone is almost always watching you, so next time you pick your nose or pull out that wedgie think of how embarrassed you would be if you knew someone was watching you.
