City Defends Surveillance of Protesters

JULIA PRESTON / NY Times | March 29 2006

Undercover New York police officers, acting on new antiterror surveillance powers they were granted by a federal court after the Sept. 11 attack, have been routinely making videotapes of political demonstrations in the city over the past two years and keeping the tapes on file, lawyers for the city said in a court hearing yesterday.

The lawyers argued that the officers were authorized to videotape political protests under court-ordered surveillance guidelines that were expanded in 2003 to allow the police to take pre-emptive action to stop terrorist attacks.

Gail Donoghue, senior counsel for the city, said the police had not been using the tapes to compile dossiers on individual protesters.

The city's lawyers confirmed that police video recordings of demonstrations were routine. They gave their most complete legal justification of the practice to date as they sought to defeat a challenge by civil rights lawyers who said it was intimidating to peaceful protesters.

6. Big Brother

is becoming more open everyday. First, closed-circuit TV- we saw the cameras but not the face. Now they are letting us see the ugly face, not hiding it any longer. I had an uncle that lived in some bad areas in Chicago. He said you always had roaches, but when they DON'T run away when you turn the lights come on it is time to worry.

9. you must not know many cops...

all the ones I know are on a power kick and would get a chubby at the thought of this sort of thing. They were either bullies or victims of bullies in school, now they have power.
