So for the deep thought response we are to choose one statement and respond to it. Well I chose the 7th one, (society would be safer if we had security cameras in public places to catch potential criminals). Well I think it won’t be safer. I don’t think it won’t be safer because it’s a camera, someone can easily cover their face with something so they won’t get caught. Plus a camera moves pretty slow if they move at all. Also a camera can only see so much at a time, I think someone will come up with a way to avoid them.Some more reasons I don’t think society will be safer because If you ever watch cops or a show like cops you would seen how many criminals was caught on tape and is still on the run. Plus last school a whole bunch of student’s everyday at lunch used to steal from chevron and 7-11 and both these stores had working cameras and no one got caught. And just because they got cameras doesn’t mean that people aren’t going to do it, it just means there going to try harder to get away.

I partly agree with this statement. If cameras were put up, then they could see what sort of crimes were taking place where, and if the public didn't know they were up, then they could catch some criminals. With cameras they could get a visual of what the criminal looks like and that would make it easier to catch them. However I agree that people would work harder to destroy/avoid the cameras so that they still can't get caught. I think that the idea of having cameras in public places seems like it would help catch potential criminals, however only if the potential criminals didn't know.
