This week on public security cameras and how it infringes privacy rights.

1. Wow...will this be part of the new "2 million new jobs" we've been hearing about?

Wind generators, solar production, and surveillance camera manufacturers. How novel. One of those rubs me the wrong way, and I'm sort of afraid of what it might mean...and I'm not talking about the wind and solar items.

2. Information is never the problem

It is how it is used.

If the massive information gathered on cameras is used for targeted justice, or justice against people singled out for reasons other then criminal activity. Then data storage becomes a means of injustice.

So if cameras are on all the streets, why not have them in every meeting with every politician. Since they are under the same public trust as public streets. And since even CEO's have enough power to warrant regulation, why not a camera watching every discussion they have, data mined by consumer groups and anyone that is curious.

Ask the CEO's and the Politicians what they would think of this, they would yell Privacy. A bit ironic, but in all things, the person using the power of the data gathering likes it, and the person that does not get to know what is done with the info, is the one that should just accept it.

Why protect us from the hyped up threat of the thug on the street, when we really know that the real crimes are done elsewhere, and cost much more.
