People used to think hidden cameras were only in action and science fiction films like 007 or The Matrix. Nowadays, they are a part of our daily lives. In the right hands, they keep our streets safe by keeping an eye out for potential criminals. Also, body cams ensure the police perform their duties properly. Parents leave nanny cams to check on their babies while they're at work or sleeping in the next room. On the other hand, sketchy individuals use spy cameras to record individuals without consent.
