Society would be safer if we had security cameras in public places to catch potential criminals.

Personally, I find no fault in this. In fact, it seems like a pretty nice idea. Many stores have closed-circuit surveillance cameras in order to catch anyone who might try to steal goods or assault the clerk, why not have them all around? Anything you don't want anyone seeing you do in public is either illegal or embarassing. Say someone steals your wallet, car, maybe even a person. That would suck! You'd probably want to find out where the thief went, huh? Well, the police could use these all-seeing watchtowers to find out who it was and where he went. Criminal activity could be drastically reduced out of the fact that it'd be nearly impossible! You try stealing a purse with a security guard breathing down your neck wherever you are, it'd be tough. It would definitely take a while for the public to get used to the constant watch of their every move, but in the long run, it would be worth it.
