Can someone say Big Brother?
After the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, local governments across the country set aside concerns over privacy and installed surveillance cameras in public streets and plazas.
Now — even after a damning report by the head of London’s extensive surveillance network and with little evidence that the systems work — police in many cities are trying to add thousands more cameras to their networks.
“‘Cameras Everywhere’ continues to be the best description of the trend in the video surveillance market,” security market analysts J.P. Freeman Co. said in a report in 2006 that estimated that a quarter of major U.S. cities were investing in the technology.

And has anyone else noticed
And has anyone else noticed the Orwellian change in terminology ---- they used to always be called, correctly, "surveillance cameras", but now more and more I hear them called "SECURITY cameras" ---- as if the presence of cameras can ensure security! Let's ask the British how well that's worked out for them in their new Big Brother surveillance state.
i'd
I'd like to know the stats of how many surveillance cameras were added in public places here in the U.S. since 2001, what the crime rate was then, and what it is now. Can anyone dig that stuff up, could be some ammo to bring to a city council meeting.
George Orwell a prophet?
At least the MSM isn't touting the system as the best means for our national security like the other garbage they usually spew.
You think Fox News will have a piece singing its praises? I wouldn't doubt it...
just figure out the camera angle
paint ball it or the trusty wrist-rocket with a pachinko ball.
bump.
bump.
Our founders would certainly be ashamed!
I'm sure they are.
Those cameras could easily be fooled with right?
How about those silent air rifles?
Paint balls?
What a Revolutionary idea?
Lol just kidding ha ha ha.
Surveillance society is here where I live how bout you?
Time for some letters to the Editor
of our local communities AND attending local and city council meetings. We must express our concerns about big brother!
It's for our own good!

Baaahhh baaahh baaaahhhh!
