Quite recently I have noticed more and more people using the mobile phones with video and still cameras built in. Are they really neccessary?
All too often I see people walking around town with camera phones, filming people as they are going for no apparent reason. Why? I find this behaviour very insulting if someone is walking towards me with a camera taking a picture or video for the sake of it.
Pointing camera phones through shop windows taking pictures or videos of people, blokes sat on benches filming girls as they walk past in summer.
It seems to me that these phones are taking away our privacy too much. I know that if I am in town I will be on countless CCTV cameras, but these can be regulated. I strongly object to mobile phones with cameras.

No, phones are not taking away our privacy -- people are. Phone cameras just make it easier.
If you don't like your picture being taken, ask them to stop. Better yet, ask them for the model release that must be signed before the pictures can be used for any purpose - this included the internet. All models sign these releases and they all have stipulations about where and when the pictures can be used. If the person uses the pictures without that release they can be sued. The exception to that is someone who is famous and out and about. They are fair game.
But, asking for the model release might stop them (or at least slow them down) in the future. Doubtful but who knows.....?

I've only known it happen on an acute/admission ward when a person is causing problems eg ringing people during the night, or making nuisance calls - and even then it is done following balancing of rights and responsibilities. Maybe policies differ between trusts. Or do you mean locking away a mobile phone charger (item of potential self-harm)? Generally, if they are used responsibly I see no need to lock them away.

The college where I work has a policy that does not allow the use of cell phone cameras on campus. It is an invasion of privacy.
I think cell phones have created havoc in our lives. Cameras are one of the worst features ever.

Technology will keep on evolving. It is currently the biggest craze in town for sure, though its not one of my interest.
I think taking pictures without ur consent if more of attitude problem rather than technology problem. Its basically simple manners not to take photos of people without their approval.
I guess wat we can do for now is just walk away and ignore or the most is give an angry stare.
Rules for them, will take a few years to get drafted.

I think it all depends on what it is use at .For a example i met with a car accident and i don't have camera with me so my camera handphone actually helped me to have pictures taken.Regards...
