No need to bring your camera or video camera and possibly miss moments while your bust filming, big brother is there to lend a hand...

When they tapped your phone to listen to your, and your 16 y.o. daughter's, conversations, you said "No problem, I have nothing to hide!" When your neighbor, who never liked the look of you because you are too [black | brown | yellow | white | Liberal | Conservative | sissy | butch | fat | skinny | stoopid | lazy | poor | rich | loud | disinterested | patriotic | fashionable | ugly | smart | whatever] saw you accidently bump into someone, and reported that you had assulted them, then please come to me when you have $20,000 in legal fees so I can cry you a tear. When I want to be safe, I move to a safe neighborhood. When they signed the Patriot Act, you said “No problem, I’m a patriot!”

I would signup for a system like this in the US; we can reduce the police force and reduce crime at the same time. On the Mexican border; we can convert this into a FPS!! This is great.

Those cameras are watching over STREETS. I never expected any privacy on the streets. And I am very suspicious of the types who bring up issues about invasion of sex life and private habits. You'd have to be having sex on the street to be concerned with that. Clearly a dishonest claim due to the lack of legitimate argumentation. I don't like the "rogue's gallery of the so-called criminals." That part is an awful idea.

Problems come when you use them for personal USE. Such as watching your Ex-spouse/boy friend. Tracking other people.. Problems I see.. To many will be watching the channels whitch there FAVORITE movie/music artists hang out. CRAPPY cameras without options to see in DARK.

If you go to the web site one of the things it list that you can monitor the cameras for is "spooky ghosts" One of the prizes is SMS message time. It looks like a scam to get cell phone numbers so that they can spam you with SMS or tack on bogus charges. I call BS.

Atlanta has been putting up CCTV cameras all over the place. You can see them hanging off of street lights or telephone poles. They have a flashing blue light to let you know that they are there. The City Council is going to vote on adding 6 cameras to Piedmont Park. CCTV cameras are in the US as well. Atlanta has been putting up CCTV cameras all over the place.

You are happy to have your neighbors watch your every move? If you performed a sex act that your neighbors found obscene, you would happily be arrested and put in jail to protect your neighbor's sensibilities? Since you've already agreeded to this, by the intent of your email, we should make a test article of you? Of course your answer is that "I don't do anything illegal.".
