—ABSTRACT—

The electronic devices not only make every part of daily life much livable, but also make much effective crime prevention and crime investigation. Today, many monitoring and recording devices discourage those who think of committing a crime; meanwhile they are widely and effectively used in obtaining criminal evidences. The records of security monitors, automatic teller machines (ATM) and credit cards; signals of cell phones and IP numbers are being used widely for crime prevention and crime investigation, however an adverse effect exists against privacy of individual life. The “violation of privacy” might sound to be hyperbolic but it is clear that electronic devices affect privacy of individual life much more than “pro-technique era” did.

This presentation provides a discussion on recording electronic devices dilemma. Can we sacrifice privacy of individual life for providing better security? Can “Big Brother” conduct against privacy at the expense of security? In this paper, we have tried to compare and contrast two opposing points of view “security concept” versus “freedom concept” from human rights perspective.
