What if the person operating the cameras has a criminal background (child molester?) and watches the cameras each day...for his job let's say, and he has the ability to zoom in and out.....and he of course ends up paying way too much attention to our sons and daughters on the playground at school. But you know catching someone rolling through a red light, or catching the occasional fight on tape... ok, even helping with an occasional murder like in the article is NO excuse for this type of insane breach of our privacies. (the murder case probably didn't even need the tape, but I digress.) This is it people, what we've all seen coming and we need to stop it sooner than later.

People who trade their liberty for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both.]]>Jun 23rd 2009 3:39PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/06/22/civilians-run-city-wide-surveillance-in-pennsylvania-town/http://www.switched.com/2009/06/22/civilians-run-city-wide-surveillance-in-pennsylvania-town/Jun 23rd 2009 7:22PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/06/22/civilians-run-city-wide-surveillance-in-pennsylvania-town/http://www.switched.com/2009/06/22/civilians-run-city-wide-surveillance-in-pennsylvania-town/
Yeah... who watches the watchdogs?

When someone watches your home or store--theives call that casing the place.]]>Jun 23rd 2009 8:41PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/06/22/civilians-run-city-wide-surveillance-in-pennsylvania-town/http://www.switched.com/2009/06/22/civilians-run-city-wide-surveillance-in-pennsylvania-town/Jun 23rd 2009 4:40PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/06/22/civilians-run-city-wide-surveillance-in-pennsylvania-town/http://www.switched.com/2009/06/22/civilians-run-city-wide-surveillance-in-pennsylvania-town/Jun 24th 2009 9:18PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/06/22/civilians-run-city-wide-surveillance-in-pennsylvania-town/http://www.switched.com/2009/06/22/civilians-run-city-wide-surveillance-in-pennsylvania-town/]]>Jun 24th 2009 8:19AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/06/22/civilians-run-city-wide-surveillance-in-pennsylvania-town/http://www.switched.com/2009/06/22/civilians-run-city-wide-surveillance-in-pennsylvania-town/
"When they took the 4th Amendment, I was quiet because I didn't deal drugs.
When they took the 6th Amendment, I was quiet because I am innocent.
When they took the 2nd Amendment, I was quiet because I don't own a gun.
Now they have taken the 1st Amendment, and I can only be quiet.
– Lyle Myhr
