Now cold they use this technology with these cameras and if so then we'll be having all our movements monitored?

The could, and when the computing power required becomes cheap enough to make it feasible, they will.

and the Govt wonders why more and more do not trust the Govt.

We have had a load of camera’s installed in the town and often wondered if they were watching but now this technology comes out.

To think that we have millions out there who like the Govt, infact love the Govt and if you state you don;t like them then all of a suddent you’re accused of looking to overthrow them

Course in this county not many people bought into that

If we make a stink over it then we can stop it.

Like that's worked so many times before? Sorry but, tar, feathers and rope is our only options at this point.

Wait! What’s that? It’s very faint and hard to hear. Listen closely. Oh, it’s a voice from the grave! Eric Blair muttering, “I did my best to warn you!”

Okay, who other than Ron Paul thinks this, and the thousand other bizarre security “enhancements” directed at the American public, are a *bad* idea, and should be discontinued immediately?

Seriously, do we *need* facial recognition of all US citizens, and to track all their movements, and to keep their DNA on file, and to monitor all their communications, and to have their entire medical history available instantly to the government, and for several government and private agencies to amass huge dossiers about them, and to have their homes and persons searched without warrant, and to have checkpoints put up at random, and to have the TSA at all public events physically searching people, and to have national biometric ID cards, and biometric passports, and to fear *detention* without trial by the military, and national gun registration by indirect and sneaky means, etc., etc., etc.?

When is it enough?

If we’re going to have an economy as poorly managed as during the time of Jimmy Carter, we should have the security of that period as well.

All this heightened security is insanely expensive paranoia and voyeurism that accomplishes nothing other than dehumanization and that faceless bureaucrats feel more in control of everyone else. For the citizenry it is just an oppressive, totalitarian waste.

Which should be dispensed with.

From the article:Just one more reason to avoid "social" networking like the plague. I don't share more than I absolutely have to.

The fact that people are not marching in the streets against this fascist move amazes and saddens me. Oh what we have lost!

“Orwellian indeed. How long before Orwell’s “telescreens” are a reality”

You are likely staring at a screen right now with a camera affixed. All it lacks, presumably, is the software command.

Madame, if you will, please look into the camera...

They are already weighing my weekly garbage and recycling output. The “carts” have RFID tags.

You can bet that CCW holders will be in the database, so they can flag potential gun toters at public venues.

Illegal carriers won’t be flagged.

Eventually, every person walking within the field of view, will have their entire history revealed simultaneously, with a simple click on a subject.”

With augmented reality glasses, now becoming available, your entire history could be pulled up by a LEO in the street. Every person that LEO sees could be tagged or color-coded.

You mean the burqa-wearing chainsaw brigade? I’ve been hearing a lot about them.
