Re:   View Systems, Inc.
      Form S-8 Registration Statement
      -------------------------------


Ladies and Gentlemen:

I refer to the above-captioned registration statement on Form S-8 (the
"Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), filed by View Systems, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the
"Company"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 7, 2005.

I have examined the originals, photocopies, certified copies or other evidence
of such records of the Company, certificates of officers of the Company and
public officials, and other documents as I have deemed relevant and necessary
as a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. In such examination, I have
assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us  certified copies or photocopies and the authenticity of the
originals of such latter documents.

Based on my examination mentioned above, I am of the opinion that the
securities being registered to be sold pursuant to the Registration Statement
are duly authorized and will be, when sold in the manner described in the
Registration Statement, legally and validly issued, and fully paid and
non-assessable.

The foregoing opinion is limited to the federal laws of the United States and
the corporate laws of the State of New Jersey, and I am not expressing any
opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

In rendering the foregoing opinion, I have relied to the extent I deem such
reliance appropriate as to certain matters on statements, representations and
other information obtained from public officials, officers of the Company and
other sources believed by me to be responsible.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the
Registration Statement. In giving the foregoing consent, I do not hereby admit
that I am in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7
of the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

Very truly yours,




/s/ Virginia K. Sourlis, Esq.
