TS+Video+Surveillance+ON

The pathfinder that I found to be most interesting was literary criticism.

 * Three things that I discovered was that:**

->Critics can either make or break your career. ->Literary criticism can strengthen you as an author and give you the backbone needed to take the hit of harsh words. ->It's all based on opinions and not fact unless noted by sight.


 * Two things that I found interesting were:**

->The use of intensity when critcing thoughts produced from others. ->How fats people chose to agree with the critic without reading the article or book for themselves.


 * One question I have about using a pathfinder is:

->**

Three things that I discovered were that:

->The sensing chip for a video camera (unlike the traditional glass lens) requires an opening no bigger than a pinhole. ->Can be concealed in walls and other objects, sithslibrary » TS Video Surveillance ONuch as picture frames, mannequins, books, etc. ->The pinhole lens is virtually invisible.

Two things I found interesting were that:

->It can be easily concealed in a deck of cards. ->It can be concealed in anything if trying hard enough to conceal it properly.

One question I have is:

->What aspect of our lives will remain secret with all these cameras hidden in the walls?

Three things that I discovered were that:

->Since September 11, the volume of applications to the Foreign Intelligence Court (FISA court) has dramatically increased. ->Use of roving has been available to law enforcement for many years and has been upheld as constitutional by several federal courts, including the Second, Fifth, and Ninth Circuits. ->Before the USA PATRIOT Act, applications for orders authorizing electronic or physical searches under FISA had to include a certification from a high-ranking Executive Branch official that "//the// purpose" of the  or search was to gather foreign intelligence information.

Two things I found interesting were that:

->Video found through the search of a warrant can only stand up in court only if surving that subpeona, otherwise that evidence will be disqualified no matter what the crime. ->Law enforcement uses this source of technology the most.

One question I have is:

->What law enforcement agencies don't use video suveillance.

Three things that I discovered were that:

-> FBI and other law enforcement officers recently have been seeking the help of two NASA scientists who study the Sun and storms like hurricanes. ->The NASA researchers--using their expertise and equipment for analyzing satellite video--created technology that can dramatically improve TV images including crime scene videos. ->Surveillance is used for forensics.

Two things I found interesting were that:

->How easily the law enforcement agencies seemed to be cooperating with NASA without any broadcast fights for territory. ->How it is used to correct daily atmosphere.

One question I have is:

Three things that I discovered were that:

->Some can video tape you without your knowledge. ->Anyone can be watching you without your knowledge. ->There are many things that can be used to hide a surveillance camera.

Two things I found interesting were that:

->I find it odd how this woman thought that she had the write to video tape her dates without their knowledge and those in the surrounding areas because if they went to a restaurant she's also taping those people too and how easily she got away with breaking the law. ->How desperate she was to find a man.

One question I have is:

-> What is the limititation to privacy?

Three things that I discovered were that:

->The U.S. security establishment is making a systematic effort to extend its surveillance capacity by pressing the private sector into service to report on the activities of Americans. ->This technology was used in the Cold War to provide the federal government with copies of all cables sent to or from the U.S. everyday. ->The Anerican society establishment is seeking to overcome in its drive to access more information about more people.

Two things I found interesting were that:

->In the Cold War, even with all the chaos going on, there was still enough time to spy on others for selfish reasons. ->This site listed giving the government access to private-sector databases as a pro and not a con.

->Why do countries from around the globe go through so much trouble to get the dirt on foreign soil?

Three things that I discovered were that:

->Video cameras, or closed-circuit television (CCTV), are becoming a more and more widespread feature of American life. ->In Washington, for example, the police are in the process of setting up a centralized surveillance center where officers can view video from schools, neighborhoods, Metro stations, and prominent buildings around the city. -> Fears of terrorism and the availability of ever-cheaper cameras have accelerated the trend even more.

Two things I found interesting were that:

->With so much money going into this technology it isn't show a lot of progress in many places. ->The progress is limited by the amount of money given to that company.

One question I have is:

-> What will happen to this techology in the end?

Three things that I discovered were that:

->A gradual weakening of our privacy rights has been underway for decades, but many of the most startling developments have come in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11. ->A major factor driving the trend toward data surveillance forward is the commodification of personal information by corporations. ->Data surveillance is made possible by the growing ocean of privately collected personal data.

Two things I found interesting were that:

->Almost every site I go to, I notice that their cause for their technology is Sept. 11. ->How easy it is to put a surveillance camera out on the street.

 * Search term used:** surveillance,video surveillance

What is video surveillance? Is it good? Is it bad? Does it help you? Is it invasive? Many websites and articles when read will have the answer to one or many of these questions. Some organizations take a side and say that it is either good or bad and can not be both. Other agencies like NASA, with the article called "NASA Helps Cops Catch Criminals on Earth with Video Technology Invented by Space Scientists", will say that this technology is very helpful to all. These companies will say that it helps to protect buildings from intruders, your home from intruders, you from harm like if you are in an alley or parking lot and someone is wishing to harm you. The government uses this technology to watch out for felons and criminals. The satellite uses this technology to not only show pinpoints on a map but pictures, videos, and scenes of the location being looked for. The negative side to this technology will say that this technology is intrusive. Companies like the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) with the article called "What's Wrong With Public Video Surveillance?", will say that it invades your privacy when stepping outside your house or walking on the street. Some people say that this technology is unlawful because it can invade your privacy without you knowing about it. When looking at this situation from a far with the known facts just stated I would say that this technology can be both helpful and harmful to all in whatever situation.

To anyone looking for advice for researching the pros and cons of technology, I would advice that the best website to go to is SIRS. This website helps you to get a further view of your topic. When looking for information on this topic I would say that you don't have to rely on the the date given because the information given is usually the same as from two years ago.The best information will come from you just typing in your subject as a keyword and that will most likely give the most accurate details of your subject.
