Cameras in your house
« on: February 18, 2006, 11:53:40 AM »
According to Houston's chief of police, it's a good thing.

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/1110AP_Police_Cameras.html

"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?" Chief Harold Hurtt told reporters Wednesday at a regular briefing.

Since the ACLU is opposing this, I'm sure there are some of y'all who will automatically support the police chief, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on why having cameras in our houses is acceptable.

Personally, it sounds like just another item on the 1984 checklist to mark off.

Frankly it's been my experiance that Chiefs of Police, being politicians rather than cops, haven't a freaking clue about the real world. They will  stand shoulder to shoulder with other politicians in whatever way they think will get them the greatest return. Since almost all are political apointees they are very interested in sucking up to the power structure that put them in office, period. Everything else including the people working for them are secondary. East of the Mississippi it's far worse than west.

Because it makes it safer for the children and it might catch a terrorist.

The thread seems oddly quiet.  Touchy subject?

Cameras in your house? If you have nothing to hide why would you object? Only people with something to hide would object to this perfectly reasonable suggestion. Remember the police and the government have your best interests at heart:t

A further thought: I don't suppose the police chief has worked out just where he is going to recruit all the security staff needed to monitor all those cameras.

"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live -- did live, from habit that became instinct -- in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."
