Wonder just how many pictures they now have of people smoking pot or crack in their cars? I have to get 50 miles away from my house not to be on camera and then the satellites take over…

economics of scale, they won’t waste resources on you unless they need to or have reason to believe they need to. If you have a dissenting voice for example.

I flip-off every camera I see.
When I die I hope someone composes a time-lapse video of me flipping Big Brother the bird as I grow older and older, rushing through life towards my inevitable doom. They could play it at my funeral, or make it into a music video (maybe a remake of “Free Bird”)

Dr. Ralph… the cameras can’t be beaten, but all you have to do for the sat’s is wear a foil hat.

SAVE YOURSELF! – i used to HATE surveillance, that is until the locals cops got pissed off at me for filing a lawsuit against them and allowed people to stalk and harass me for a year after the filing!? that same surveillance then became my savior…

and now i love surveillance, as long as it is in the hands of good local citizens like me with no evil agendas…

Personally, I think all cops should have a wireless camera and audio system embedded in their badges that records and monitors all sounds and movements at a central location. The central office of monitors, staffed by a combination of civilian and police personel, would have the ability to record any portion of that data stream for later use or scrutiny of an officers actions. It works for the british, no reason it shouldn’t work to protect the public from overzealous and poorly trained individuals with the authority to kill with impunity as evinced with the Bell case in NY. Had a system like the one I mentioned existed to protect Bell or that poor 92 YO grandmother in georgia, there would be some individuals that carry badges understanding what it is like to be imprisoned. Their job is to protect and serve, not kill when not immediately complied with. This is not a totalitarian regime, rules by force and fear of promiscuous prosecution.

In the mean time, avail yourself of a voice recorder you can turn on easily when pulled over and expose those who rutinely abuse their authority and have no respect for the laws or the public.

Jed,

Don’t most cell phones record sound as well as pictures now. I know mine records pics although I don’t know how to do it. I was thinking it might be handy if I ever ran afoul of the ‘authorities.’

Yes, I like some of the new ones with networking and high speed capabilities as well, they are priced a little out of my price range though.
