I'm Watching You!!!

As if there were not enough issues with peoples privacy being violated on the internet, A new company to come up with an idea to spy on people while they shop or go about there business at a public place.

Internet Eyes states on there website that there sole purpose is to enable responsible members of the public to use the latest technology to help shopkeepers and the police combat the serious social harm that shoplifting causes. But not too many are buying this new venture. The company still hasnt been able to launch because there are too many issues that could violate the Data Protection Act, but the company is trying to cover them selves by saying that the videos will not be allowed to be copied or used for other purposes.

I beleive with how tech savvy consumers are becoming, the video of me at Macys walking around could be sent to thousands of vouyers who enjoy watching others. I don't think this company will be succesful nor allowed to operate anytime soon because of the many laws that are involved with citizens privacy rights. I understand that shoplifting is increasing tremendously, but it doesnt mean that the millions of innocent customers that enters these stores should have there privacy taken from them and streamed throughout the world to the members of this site.

A better alternative is to buckle down on the security guards inside the stores and have them watch the cameras or hire an authorized company such as Remote CCTV Monitoring Services who hire only trained and certified employess to provide surveillance in businesses. Unless you guys believe that Joe Shmoe from down the street who like to stare at women should be watching women shop at Victoria Secret from the comfort of his home...
