[edit] NPOV

I take issue with the statement "mass surveillance by the state may constitute surveillance abuse if not appropriately regulated" in that it contains a judgement that mass surveillance is not abusive under most circumstances. Isn't the very concept of mass surveillance contrary to societal norms regarding expectations of privacy? Alvis 04:40, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

This looks bogus:

Women’s privacy rights are particularly vulnerable to video surveillance technology. “Up-skirting” and “down-blousing”—using camera cell phones to surreptitiously take pictures up women’s skirts or down their blouses—has become something of a trend on college campuses and city streets. Police officers have used video surveillance cameras to engage in such conduct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.81.136.8 (talk) 22:56, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
