Peter Hudler FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WASHINGTON- In an "off-the-record" conversation with reporters, President Barack Obama unveiled a plan to distribute traffic cameras in moderately populated residential and commercial areas in order to 'monitor' the people who live and work there.
The conversation was leaked to the media this afternoon. "People drive fast, people drive poorly, and people die," the President said in the discussion. "We now have cameras at traffic lights to prevent this and catch those who break the law. But we could do so much more.
"Think about the possibilities if we expand the traffic cameras. At every light, we could monitor bad drivers and at every light we can lower crime. The benefits are large."
The President then paused. "But even those possibilities are short-sighted. If we are able to improve the technology behind these surveillance devices, we can observe anyone. Anyone who breaks the law and everyone on the street can be viewed. The drop in crime will be astounding."

Obama and his administration are marxist ideologs who are only true to that ideology which has them drunk on what they perceive as their path to more and more power, and who twist their interpretation of everything else to that end.

I think that it is but it’s hard to tell.
Zero wants control over the masses and this is part of the technology to do it.
Paging Mr. Orwell.
Since most street criminals are would-be democrat voters, any effort to punish that constituency would be curtailed. Instead, the cameras would be used to enforce civil penalties (fines) against normal, honest citizens who present no danger, but who can finance government spending (on favored democrat constituencies).
Fortunately, my glorious state of Texas has not only told the feds to back the fu*k off, but has recently outlawed traffic cameras.
The Onion is going to go out of business because what was once satire is now reality.
Surely this is a joke
GO where the criminals are ... But I bet that isn’t what he means. How about we put cameras on the drug dealer corners?
Yeah, but it’s plausible.
