It is in fact an invasion of our privacy to be constantly watched.

Since it was a public HS the government does have the right to install videocameras IMO, but I see where you are going with this. It is disconcerting to know that we are being watched all the time, whether we know it or not.

Again, it is public property they can do whatever the hell they want. They can search your lockers without your permission for it is their property.

They could change the law by saying its for our "protection". Dont you see its a slippery slope.
Havign cameras in public places is not part of a slope torwards government ordered cameras in your home. Privacy only exists when you are in private, not when you are wlaking around in the public world.
Then why would I want to walk around in the public if Im just going to be watched by videocamers.

So if I sit in the cafeteria and stare at you the whole lunch period, is that an invasion of your privacy, too?

Although it may seem overboard to have cameras in places like high schools
your right to privacy may have to be compromised to keep you safe.

No that is different because you know that person is watching you.
but in my school nothing really bad happens
