Elie Wiesel Crimes

According to “A Surveillance Society” By William E. Thompson there are camera everywhere, watching everything you do at all times. Cameras are found everywhere and are used by everyone, including the governments of the world who use it the most to track its citizens and potential threats to the safety of their nation. People are more willing to be watched in order to feel safer everywhere they go such as the supermarket to your own workplace. Governments can now look into your email, travel records, credit history and your personal life without your knowledge of them ever doing so, even your neighbors can now easily buy tools to spy on others or to protect themselves from danger; Things such as security cameras

People who have served in the military are the ones that have provided our nation with liberty and safety. They are the ones that took up arms in the World Wars, the Civil War, the Revolutionary War, and all other wars that this nation has been involved in. Many of the veterans of these wars have passed on by now, but those who are still on this Earth are held in reverence and viewed with honor. They were crucial to the continuation of our nation’s peace and unity. Imagine what America would be like without their bravery and sacrifices. Without veterans, there would be no “land of the free.” Without the World War I and II veterans, we would be living in a country, no, a world, where individuality and freedom would no longer exist. Without the veterans of the Civil War, the whole, united nation that we know today as America would not have been possible. Without the veterans of the American Revolution, there wouldn’t even be an America. The men and women that participated in these wars are heroes. They never gave up on this nation, whether they thought that they had a chance or not, and in many of these instances, they pulled through. Veterans never cease to be heroes, whether it be a time of peace or a time of war, whether they are alive, or they have passed on, and they will always be

There is so much crime which occurs in our society today, which it is very difficult to put an end to it. But there is a thing which is common among these crimes which are the criminals. According to the article, "Police body Cams: Solution or scam? Nwanevu the author has stated many questions to which he gathers the responses from three panels who is Mariame Kaba a member of the Chicago antipolice violence organization, David Fleck a vice president and he is also a major manufacturer of the police body cameras, and Connor Boyack who is a president of Utah 's Liberates Institute. This article mentions the popular magazine such as Time magazine, this magazine reports that over a quarter of the country 's police departments are already testing or actively using cameras, including the NYPD and the LAPD (Nwanevu, 2015). Also the author Nwanevu states that The Obama administration has called for the federal funding to support the deployment of as many as 50,000 devices to state and local law enforcement agencies. The administration 's reasoning captures the perspective of most camera supporters. According to the status the usage by police officers will help sustain trust between law enforcement agencies and the communities they interact with (Nwanevu, 2015). Reformers have suggested that the video could have gone a long way towards resolving the ambiguities of the Michael Brown case where eyewitnesses had given conflicting stories and also the death of Eric Garner according to

“A Veteran is someone, who at one point in their life, wrote a blank check payable to the United States of America for an amount up to, and including, their life. Regardless of personal political views, that is an honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer remember that fact.”

In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, many of the Jews’ rights and regulations were violated. The Jews were treated very inhumane by the Germans and occasionally each other and that wasn’t legal or sane at all. A whole race of people were exterminated in the blink of an eye and that was cruel and not right. One of the rights that was violated was the freedom of speech as expressed in article 18 of the Declaration of Human Rights. ”Keep her quiet!

Moreover, to stop the crime and police brutality, body cameras would not be a bad idea if they were to be taken a step forward. Nancy La Vigne writer of “Body Cameras for Police Could Be One Smart Step” talks about supervisors monitoring the cameras in case an altercation were to happen (6). Nancy also talks about body cameras invading constitutional rights of the citizens. Vigne writes, “Body cameras will capture not just an officers actions, but also those of the citizens with whom they interact – or even individuals walking by or in the background” (Vigne). Nancy’s point is that with the body cameras and civilians being recorded, should the citizens know they are being recorded. Another solution for the body cameras to be able to work would be for the cops to have no access to the cameras.

Throughout his article, he discusses both sides of the issue. He begins by stating that many believe cameras are needed to maintain security in modern times. However, he also mentions that the cameras are expensive to acquire, maintain and that they are an invasion of privacy. Brasch mentions that with the cameras there is "less overtime paperwork from officers having to defend themselves or explain how a traffic stop happened in court" and that it keeps more people honest (2). Brasch then goes on to include information about a police department that got rid of the law enforcement cameras in their department due to the cost and maintenance. He also mentions a police department that will not install any cameras because they believe it is against individual rights. The author then goes on to include that the cameras would help clear up situations that are difficult to understand such as police-officer related deaths. Other opinions believe the cameras would not help clear up the controversy caused when there is shooting incidents. The author concludes that although cameras have pros and cons not all problems can be solved with them. This article is very informative to read when one wants to be informed about law enforcement cameras. Brasch provides support for each point he makes on both sides of the argument. He also maintains a neutral tone in his writing, the only bias coming from the quotes he takes from sources. However, Brasch does not elaborate long on the opinion that cameras invade privacy. This is a weakness for his article since the opinion can easily be disproved by looking to other sources for information. The article "Public Video Surveillance: Is It An Effective Crime Prevention Tool?" by Marcus Nieto states that the cameras "surveillance is physically

Thousands of men and women throughout the United States give up the security and safety of their home to defend the freedoms that Americans, just like myself, get to enjoy every day. These men and women endure hardships and tragedies that most of us could not imagine dealing with, and they do it selflessly. When they finally get to return home to the country that they fought so selflessly to protect, they are forgotten. Veterans all across America receive inadequate health care, are left to suffer from mental illness and end up homeless, and the government is not doing near enough to help them.There are countless flaws in the way that our veterans are taken care of when they return home, and

There are instances people don’t cooperate because of the trust issues between them. Hopefully the cameras can reestablish the connection between police and citizens. Soon they may realize this task will much harder to complete. Some may say it a breach of privacy, “particularly in instances in which encounters with police occur in a private home.” (Police Body Cameras) This is one of the main concerns with body cameras, nobody wants to be film inside his/her own home. Also the cameras are expensive at a large scale. “Body cameras can cost in the range of $100 upward to $1,500...” (Ignasiak) It’s not rational idea to issue all officers with cameras the cost will be too

With today’s technological surveillance capabilities, our actions are observable, recordable and traceable. Surveillance is more intrusive than it has been in the past. For numerous years countries such as the United State and the United Kingdom have been actively monitoring their citizens through the use of surveillance technology. This state surveillance has been increasing with each passing year, consequently invading the citizen’s fundamental constitutional right to privacy,. This has lead to the ethical issues from the use or misuse of technology, one such ethical issue is should a government have the right to use technology to monitor its citizens without their knowledge or approval? For this reason this paper will

First off, having street cameras all over town can be a very useful thing. In the article “Sonoma County, following a global trend, is focusing cameras on public spaces” by Paul Payne, Payne writes about a man that was caught on camera breaking the gate to a parking garage, by cameras in the garage. With law enforcement watching those cameras, police were able to arrest the man before he could even get into his car in the parking garage. "What's nice

The government offered the domestic surveillance programs to reinstate a feeling of safety. Although comforting shell shocked citizens, current programs are becoming unnecessarily invasive, financially costly, and controversially uneffective. Many people believe that these programs undermine the fourth amendment of the Constitution of our nation. It is certain that we need domestic surveillance with jihadist groups continually growing but it is obvious that systems in place today are not working.

Night falls upon the city of Gotham. Sirens wail over the chattering crowd. Cop cars zoom past the thick steam that rises from the sewer beneath the dingy city streets. Somewhere beyond an unknown wail of an alarm pierces through the night air. Typical night in Gotham. Typical never ending spree of robberies, and typical GCPD taking their time to arrive on the scene. High above the noisy city streets, crouched in the shadows on an old building, a slender beauty with red hair slouched. Her long red locks hide her pale angelic face from the world while cat like green eyes gazed upon the action happening below.

Government surveillance has not contributed to a decrease of percentage in crimes, but has created a controversial topic instead. Online surveillance has been an invasion of privacy, because everything the users access is seen without their consent. Due to the fact the stored data is not used, government surveillance in the united states has not been very impactful. Crimes and terrorist attacks were not stopped, and the mass storage of personal data within the last year has violated privacy laws 2,776 times (Government Surveillance 722). Surveillance online is not only unsuccessful in America, but in UK, and Canada as well. Out of every 1000 security cameras, only one camera is actually used to catch a criminal (Government Surveillance 722). However, there are several solutions that can be made to allow the usage of government surveillance without the violating the rights of Americans. Some of the solutions have already taken action, and will give users more freedom online.

Possibly the technological feature creating the most controversy is surveillance cameras. What is seemingly there for public safety could also inhibit safety by exposing the public’s private life. Every move made under the hawk-like vision of the camera is observed and judged by someone sitting behind the scenes. Women risk being stalked by sexual predators, and assailants have been known to memorize the schedule of a subject in order to time the perfect attack (Stead). “Bad cops” may gain insight to a personal life that allows for the watcher to blackmail the victim. In recent studies it has been proven that an increase in surveillance cameras does not decrease the crime rate; it
