Post 9/11, expansion of CCTV (closed circuit television) surveillance is a world-wide phenomenon. Recently the debate about mass transit video surveillance systems came under scrutiny by privacy advocates when it was learned that the TTC’s (Toronto Transit Commission) plans to install around 12,000 cameras on every bus, streetcar, subway car and each station. Approx 1.5 million TTC travelers’ would be photographed on a daily basis and the cameras will also have audio capability. The debate continues. On one side there is the need to ensure public safety, on the other is the privacy concern due to extensive personal information-gathering. Where do you stand?
