71% Of The Country Wants Big Brother Security Systems

Not good.

I'm sorry, I know some people think having these close circuit cameras all over is a good. It might be advantageous in some instances, but the long term risk for potential government abuse is too much, and I can't support these things.

1 If this isn't just wishful thinking from the socialist fuckwits at ABC Nooz, then I'm still going to call BS. For 210 million US citizens to choose 24/7 monitoring is unthinkable. Ponder traffic cameras used to nab speeders...have you *ever* known a single person who thought those cameras were a great idea? Me neither. The surveillance CC cameras are just an extension of that concept, and I can't fathom how more than 10% or so of the public would want a UK-style Big Brother following their every move.

2 I've written several times on the evils of the UK surveillance system (now centralized with real-time access by police!), but most people have the "if you're not doing anything wrong, what's the problem" sort of attitude. Now, as we similar systems entering several US cities, I don't expect much resistance on the part of the populace.

4 Wake me when they can laser site a breath alcohol reading. Then I will think about driving after dark on weekends in LA.
