Why? Because it only sounds okay until you actually consciously become a participant. Then it suddenly feels creepy. Why? Because it is. That's your brain telling you that being constantly watched is inhumane and cruel. You already know this is wrong. Listen to yourself!

Hey, students at universities using this garbage, gimme some photos of these things to show Rick Carter that you know what his surveillance crap looks like, because I'd be willing to bet that you do!
