The law says you can't expect privacy in a public place, and in that spirit, the new Union South--which is now officially open for business--is saturated with security cameras. A quick, cursory, non-comprehensive count found 27 security cameras on the first floor alone, plus at least three outside. The actual total is likely higher than that assuming some of the cameras are mounted discreetly. Given that Union South is five stories tall, it's quite possible that the building contains more than A HUNDRED security cameras.
Does that sound at all unreasonable or scary to anyone..?
Next, we'll count security cameras at Memorial Union and Hoofers.
Out of curiosity, I just did my own casual count, and i get 32 cameras on the first floor plus at least 4 outside. As the post says, the actual number can only be higher than that.
ReplyDeleteSo, what i wonder is, how can they complain when you take photos at the Union with your own camera?
It's a corollary of the Golden Rule: Them that's got the gold make the rules.
