  I am certainly not spinning this I a sceptical that somone could get away with forcing a citizen to install a camera IN there house.  

I did not see anything in the above statement about a convicted criminal, care to edit it?

nope you are the one that brought the "convicted" part into the equation.  

Let me clarify my stance one more time.

I would fully support cameras in PUBLIC locations to include monitoring PRIVATE property from a PUBLIC location  IE the street (and not IN the street as the article says, again someone explain that to me)

If you want to monitor parking lots of apartment complexes whos tenents get robbed regularly then yes monitor them by all means.  It's no different than putting a cop on a patrol if you ask me.  

If a court mandates that you wear a GPS device or have an alcohol breathalizer with camera installed in your home that is the court's decision.  The camera is only on when they call, they arent monitoring them 24/7 right?


If you want to commit criminal activity and not get caught you are on your own.

Well you and I are getting pretty close to agreement then.

So then you think the Chief would be wrong in compelling homeowners to install cameras as well, bravo.

I was just pointing out that citizens have been forced to install cameras inside thier homes, you seemed to be unaware of that.

Well yes, I'm as much for the constitution as the next guy.  However, I think there is a big difference between a video phone and an actual camera.  

One has the option to open a "video phone" while a camera is a different story.  

of course disobeying said option would probably result in criminal penalty.
