Commissioner Marie Shroff said the need for cameras to keep people safe should be balanced with the potential for an invasion of privacy.

Mr Edwards said many cameras probably skirted privacy laws but nothing could be done until people could prove they had been harmed by use of footage. Ms Shroff said she had received no complaints about security cameras in public areas, but people often asked about their neighbours' rights to install personal security cameras.

A recent Privacy Commission survey showed only a third of respondents were worried about being caught on camera, but there was concern about what the footage could be later used for.[/quote:4a0f879ff8]

If people have nothing to hide, why should they be bothered by the cameras, however many there are.....

I don't care if there are 1000 cameras on me as I walk down the street - I have no reason to not want to be 'caught on camera' and if it deters vandalism, etc, then I'm all for it.
