Should Cameras be Able to Monitor Your Every Move?

The government and many businesses are interested in using advanced technology to monitor what people are doing and saying. They want to do this to keep people safe, prevent theft, and help to solve crimes. But is it really worth it? People should be able to have conversations in public without having to worry about being overheard. We should be warned if someone is listening for security purposes. On the other hand, I do think that video monitoring is a good idea. Video surveillance could help police to find bank robbers, and would also allow businesses to keep an eye out for shoplifting. If you aren't doing anything wrong, you don't need to worry about security cameras.
