Surveillance and Law Enforcement

 

Surveillance has evolved so much over the years to the point that everyone pretty much has their own surveillance camera. Nowadays is hard to do something without getting caught and watched by multiple people. I feel like this effects celebrities/athletes more because now they have to be aware of every little thing they do when they're out. The first incident I thought about was Richard Sherman and his situation that happened last year. So last year Sherman was arrested and booked on charges of burglary domestic violence, resisting arrest and malicious mischief after trying to forcefully break into his in-laws home while drunk. 

 You can hear the family yelling in fear on the other side of the door. I have no idea if Sherman knew that there was a camera right their but as a professional athlete and future NFL Hall Of Famer, he should've know better than act like that. Us fans never expected something like this to happen to Sherman because of how well he carry himself off the field, and now because of the surveillance video this situation will stick with him for the rest of his life.

The next person I was gonna talk about is former NFL running back Zac Stacy. So Stacy was just hit with 5 charges for his incident last year with his ex-girlfriend Kristin Evans. It is said that Stacy went into a violent rage over rent money. Evans (the ex) stated that he physically assaulted her several of times. He punched her legs, slapped her, picked her up by her arms, and threw her into a window, which broke and left glass in her feet.

Kristin Evans surveillance footage might have saved her life. Stacy was reportedly hitting on Evans throughout their relationship together, that was just the first time it was caught on camera. A lot of people have a problem with being watched all the time, but I personally don't have a problem with surveillance because I feel as if it helps us and keeps us safe. My pops has 3 cameras outside our house with motion detected lights so I'm really use to it, and I will do the same when I get my first home.
