Security vs Privscy vs HR --- I have a question. The technology is so advanced today that on the market you can buy a sophisticated advanced cameras (usually big airports or train-stations or big cities install such) that can scan in real time up to 100-200 persons simultaneously, can measure their body temperature and (if you buy the face recognition bio-metric module) can detect which person is in question, thus making it possible to track that person. Technology is advanced to produce such cameras. Such cameras can be very good for security. But,they are not so good for privacy and human rights. Yet, more and more "safe city" projects appear as mushrooms across the world. Where is the balance here? Should such tech solutions be marketed/applied in daily lives? If you need to track a criminal among 1000 citizens such camera is useful, however in order to achieve the goal you will also have to scan 999 innocent citizens. Then, who saves this data about the 999 citizens who are not the target of the law enforcement? For what purposes? And what is the airport/city interest to save the data that particular citizens were present at 08.00 at the train station, at 09.00 at the airport or at 11.00 at the public square in the city center.
