and human rights
It is essential to respect the privacy of an individual while using CCTV
surveillance. The use of CCTV needs to be restricted to the prevention and detection of
crime and promoting safety. It should not affect the privacy and liberty of the people. The
political freedom of the citizen is also hampered. There are CCTV cameras installed in
public places, which can affect an individual willingness to exercise their act of
liberation. This can be used by many political parties and can discourage peoples from
organising assemblies. CCTV has the potential to affect all right to privacy (Small 2017).
The police and the government bodies need to come out with a proper justification before
installing CCTV cameras in a public place and ensure that the negative impacts of doing
the same are avoided (Patel et al. 2016). The people have to trust the administrator of the
CCTV surveillance that they will respect their rights. These cameras can bother the public
ways of how they are enjoying in the public place under cameras continuous monitoring.

CCTV cameras in public places invade their privacy. The CCTV surveillance is meant for
determination of criminal activities in an area by not invading in the privacy, civil liberty
and human rights. CCTV cameras can be installed in a workplace if it is not doing any
harm to the legal rights of the employees.
