LowerCaseRepublican Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 http://www.heralddemocrat.com/articles/200...ews/state01.txt Houston’s police chief proposed Wednesday placing surveillance cameras in apartment complexes, downtown streets, shopping malls, and even private homes as a way of combatting crime with a shortage of police officers. “I know a lot of people are concerned about Big Brother, but my response to that is if you are not doing anything wrong, why should you worry about it?” -- Um...I worry about it because of the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION, you soft-headed moron. If you want to intrude into peoples' privacy, get a f***ing warrant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I have no problem with placing cameras in public places and on street corners in high crime areas but private residences is going WAY too far. Line has to be drawn somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with them in public area's. If by apartment complex's he means in the parking lots or cameras facing the doors....then I'm all for it. If he means inside the halls and such I'd say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 We just have to give up our freedoms or the terrorists and criminals will win. Everyone will be ok with their every move in public video taped. Plus, think how great American's Funniest Hoe Videos will be with everything you do in public recorded.

If he means inside the halls and such I'd say no. From what i've read it isn't clear if the cameras would have to be in the bar or not. One thing that does seem clear is that the bar owner would be responsible to purchase the equipment (which is nonsense). Hey, if they don't want a camera on their building they should be able to make that choice. This is WAY too much government control for my taste. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2006-0...o-cameras_x.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe so many are "okay" with constant public surveillance. This, to me, is much scarier than the warrantless monitoring of overseas phone calls.

It just makes me wonder if these samethings were happening in say largely Republican areas, if we would be hearing more outrage about this. Instead we have two Democratic mayors in largely democratic towns, and there is nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
