Hidden Cameras - Their Effects on Our Society
Hidden cameras have come a long way.
Several years ago these hidden video cameras were mainly used by intelligence agencies and private investigators, but the use of these hidden spy cameras is now common amongst private individuals and businesses.
These hidden wireless cameras are changing the world we live in.
They are making us more self-conscious.
A lot of celebrities, company executives, private citizens and businesses, and government agencies are being caught in the act of iniquity by these undercover video cameras.
Quite frankly, you will be amazed by what the people you think you trusted or those that you think ought to be role models, do when they think nobody is watching.
Recently, the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson was caught on hidden video asking for about $700,000, from an undercover reporter for an exclusive access to her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, who is a British Special Representative for Trade and Investment.
"If you want to meet him in your business, look after me and he'll look after you...
you'll get it back tenfold," Ferguson is seen saying on video, while accepting a $40,000 cash down payment from the undercover reporter.
A Chicago-based non-profit group, Mercy For Animals, says that the hidden video camera played a major role in an undercover investigation at a Dairy Farms in Ohio.
In the video, workers are seen beating cows with crowbars and stabbing them with pitchforks.
It was called the most brutal and resentful case of animal abuse ever documented.
"Workers violently punching young calves in the face, body slamming them to the ground, and pulling and throwing them by their ears," said Runkle, executive director of the non-profit organization.
Again, the group ACORN fired two of its employees who were caught on hidden video camera giving income tax advice to a man and a woman, posing as a pimp and a prostitute.
In the video posted online by conservative activist James O'Keefe, the man and the woman are seen inquiring about buying a home and how they should state the source of the woman's income on the tax forms.
And an ACORN employee advised the woman to say she is a "performance artist.
" Even the United States Army is investigating three of its own Middle Tennessee recruiters, because of an undercover hidden-camera investigation orchestrated by an investigative news reporter.
It reveals that the Army were desperately recruiting the mentally ill to serve on the front lines.
The investigation began when a mentally ill recruit committed suicide.
Undoubtedly, all of these crimes would have been very difficult if not impossible to uncover without the use of the hidden camera.
Therefore, it is justifiable to say that the role of these hidden cameras in detecting crimes in our society, cannot be overemphasized.
