Y'all do know that these things aren't just for terrorism right? If you do something bad, and the cops need to find you, this gives them eyes all over the damn place to find you.

On the other hand, your business becomes everyone else's and even if you're not doing anything wrong....why should everyone know what your up to? where you are?

Mixed feelings.

Watching you with cameras, is analogous to having anyone just look at you, like you said... I would not mind if it was just that, it's logic, when you're in public you're always being watched by someone, no big deal...

But tracking you, is analogous to having someone walk with you all down your path, watching closely for whatever you pull out of your pocket/bag, looking and keeping note (in this case for 30 days) of whatever you do, whoever you meet, and whatever place you enter to.... I think this isn't right, if someone physically did that to me, I'd knock him off....]]>May 15th 2008 10:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/chicagos-cctv-network-to-be-autonomously-monitored-starting-thi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/chicagos-cctv-network-to-be-autonomously-monitored-starting-thi/

Don't feel like playing golf with your buddy? Don't lie and say you've already made plans to go to a movie--he'll just log into the public access database and verify your story. Crazy girlfriend? Too bad. She can track you down.

Hey, how about a camera right in front of your kids' school? That way they'll be safe. You trust the people with access to that footage? How about if I take the footage? How does that sound? You don't have a problem with me filming your kids in a PUBLIC school do you? No reason you should, right?]]>May 16th 2008 3:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/chicagos-cctv-network-to-be-autonomously-monitored-starting-thi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/chicagos-cctv-network-to-be-autonomously-monitored-starting-thi/
It shows the pure ignorance of people that come out with statements like that.

Do you really want every single move of yours monitored? You want people to know where you are 24/7? You want no move of yours to be unrecorded? Well, move to London mate, cus it's a hell of a lot worse there and you'll love it.

People like you that don't stand up for their RIGHT TO PRIVACY are the reason that nothing is ever done to stop this sort of thing.

Now run along, go eat your GMO food and fluoridated water and mutate for your masters in front of their cameras.]]>May 16th 2008 5:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/chicagos-cctv-network-to-be-autonomously-monitored-starting-thi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/chicagos-cctv-network-to-be-autonomously-monitored-starting-thi/

"CCTV cameras capable of spotting criminals and known terrorist suspects through facial recognition technology are set to be deployed at Euston railway station in London, writes Dipesh Gadher."

"Ted Dunstone from the Biometrics Institute says the next generation of CCTV will be much more sophisticated, able to identify and track individual details, including the way people walk, the colour of their hair, their clothes. It will even be able to identify a person who seems nervous or agitated."

This is old news ('05-'07), and probably already implemented in Union Stations and airports in the US and UK.

Biometrics?! Poker faces, people!]]>May 16th 2008 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/chicagos-cctv-network-to-be-autonomously-monitored-starting-thi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/chicagos-cctv-network-to-be-autonomously-monitored-starting-thi/May 17th 2008 11:40AM
