Hidden Surveillance Cameras
Topic & Purpose
Hidden surveillance cameras are an important topic because time and time again, the use of hidden cameras has given us better ways to catch criminals in the act. “Did you see?” has become an obsolete question; just go to the video. Imagine waking up to an intruder in your home, getting robbed at gun point or witnessing a crime being committed. I have experienced all of these events and although I wasn’t physically hurt, I was mentally scarred. At the times of these events there were no hidden surveillance cameras being used; therefore the aforementioned criminals weren’t caught. Today hidden surveillance cameras are more common around the world than most of us realize. They can be found in bus stops, convenience stores, fast food restaurants, homes, and ATM machines on almost every continent.
