Someone
is probably watching you. Video surveillance in Ecuador has increased
five-fold in two years. There are now 2,000 surveillance cameras in the
country. And that number is expected to double in 2014. These
surveillance systems are located on streets and bridges, at harbors,
parks, airports, beaches, borders and soon within fútbol stadiums.
Critics call it an invasion of privacy. But authorities believe the
cameras help in the fight against crime. ECU-911 said every day it
receives hundreds of requests from people who want the cameras put in
their neighborhoods. By year's end, all taxis and public buses will also
be equipped with surveillance cameras.
La videovigilancia se duplicará en 2014

El número de cámaras se quintuplicó en dos años.
Sonría, aquí también hay cámaras: la polémica videovigilancia llegó hasta los taxis y buses en Ecuador, y su expansión parece irrefrenable ante el éxito que le atribuyen las autoridades en la lucha contra la delincuencia.
