    With today’s technology, there is a rift between technology and personal privacy. Currently, no precise federal law prohibits surveillance cameras, but there is a fear with common-law confidentiality rights, which frequently leads to an evaluation of a person's "reasonable expectation of privacy. " Expectation of privacy is not an issue when overt cameras are used. A person’s expectation of privacy is also not void when on public campuses, such as Grand Valley. Surveillance cameras in public locations such as sidewalks or parking lots are no problem because there is not an expectation of privacy in such areas.…

According to Wasserman, legislature regarding issues like child molesting, the protection of fetuses, and drugs were passed too hurriedly as the result of moral panics.

It has yet to be determined if the solution of implementing body cameras is just a hasty response to moral panic. It appears, if balanced, that it’s a good policy.…
