Serveillance is usually never uneeded. It is not here to invade our privacy, hence there are no cameras in the bathrooms or even classrooms. They are simply here to protect us and make sure we follow the rules that also protect us from harm. The current level at this school is the same as most places only its visible here.

Surveillance camera's are needed in the school for many reasons. One we have laptops which cost lots of money and could easily be stolen. Also during the night people could break into the school and steal expensive things like projectors and computers. I believe that the cameras are for good reasoning and are needed almost everywhere in todays society.

Cameras being needed is a must. The reason why i suggest this is simply because of the things that are in this building such as laptops, computers, money, food, vending machines, school store, supplies, and locker rooms. If you remember the columbine high school shootings, if the shooters were to get away or escape somehow, we would be able to figure out who they were because of the surveillance cameras. Where there is a lot of people, violence and fights are bound to happen. All in all, cameras are needed no matter what.

I do think video surveillance at school is needed because lets say an incident at school happened and they dont know who it is, so since they have no proof it be alot easier to punish everyone, but if they did have proof they would punish only the person who caused the incident.
