I want a few cameras inside the White Hut....

All these cameras are going to do is give some great footage to the national TV channels. After the fact.

[BOBTHENAILER]

they’re going to put American citizens under total surveillance.

Then they'll design software that automatically eliminates muslim features, muslim owned automobiles, etc.

"I like the way you think..."

[Voter62vb]

so sensitive that it will pick up even suspicious behavior?

Does that mean the cameras will have automatic exposure value compensation so they will get a properly developed picture of white males upset with the HELLthcontrol Bill in all lighting conditions and backgrounds?

Those that give up a little freedom for a little security have neither freedom nor security.........

Can't remember who said it, but my history teachers drilled this into our skulls more than 60 years ago--and I've never forgotten it.

[Redbob]

"New York officials say they could stop attacks like the attempted Times Square car bomb by expanding a controversial surveillance system so sensitive that it will pick up even suspicious behavior."

And how exactly do they think that would work?
Do they have some predictive behavior software?

Or would they be doing some "profiling," and stopping and searching suspicious conservative white tea-party-activist males like the one who planted the bomb in Times Square?

Right on cue

Flood the nation with criminals of every ilk, illegal aliens, hateful muslims, wait for the fireworks, then set up your police state to “maintain civic order”. This has been in the works for many decades.

[Herb ExAdminOnWiki]

Yeah, and it’ll say “EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!”

[microgood]

Never waste a crisis.

[XHogPilot]

How will cameras PREVENT attacks? Photos/Movies used as evidence after the fact, yes. But they won’t stop anything.

Bloomberg sees this as a way to generate revenue from the congestion pricing he wants (you pay for every mile driven in NYC), and for red light and speed violations. More taxes. Go figure.

And here I thought he was getting a cut for each camera the city buys. I had no idea his intentions were so noble. /sarc>

[Sarajevo]

Watching camera’s all day long.............it sounds like a job for TSA rejects.

[Puppage]

So, we're to believe that the people who blow themselves up as a matter of habit, will now think twice because of a camera?

Yeah, that'll do it.

[ClearBlueSky]

How long has Times Square been safe WITHOUT tons of cameras??
We don’t need more cameras.
We need NO Muslims.

[Eric Blair 2084]

Thanks for the ping.

I are innocent. I dont care if the NYC camera has me on tape scratching my nuts while walking down 6th ave.
