Surveillance is an old tactic primarily used by rulers throughout human history. In the Western world, surveillance appears as an instrumental means of sovereign control. Surveillance-centric states use the power to acquire information about specific individuals, in-depth analysis of situations, groups, and people, as well as inhibit dysfunction. Surveillance is also used by businesses and/or stores to deny theft. Whatever the specifications of surveillance, all practices use the same modes of investigation, supervision, regulation and organization. Advances in technology and government policies have exuberated the power and identity of surveillance, while self-surveillance has created an uncomfortable relationship with human normalcy. The expansion of surveillance correlates with the diplomatic and financial goals of the sovereign, as well as the dawn of a cultural framework in which the individual does not feel comfortable publishing themselves to others, but where self-disclosure is envied and yearned for.

The sovereign must distinguish the purpose of video surveillance cameras according to the individual; Video surveillance technology should not gather more material than necessary. The use of CCTV cameras should be made public; the individual has the right to know where he or she is being observed and why. In addition. A hierarchical observation must be developed to observe the operation of video surveillance cameras and other surveillance methods in order to guarantee its subjectification distance from the individual.
