We should be doing this a LOT more. Remember when the Brits were bombed, and they ID'd the suspects within minutes, and arrested the accomplices? We'd have no idea who did it, if that happened here.
It would also reduce general crime.

I think you're going to find, shortly, that most people on Free Republic don't much like the idea of Big Brother watching our every movement.
It would also reduce general crime.
Perhaps we should also ban guns? How about having document checks at every street corner so we can ferret out the illegals?
I just fail to understand "conservatives" that are so willing to trust big government under the guise of "safety".
I hope you're kidding.
Boy, I would sure vote for you for dictator.
Statists with a desire for utter and complete control of our population, give me a chub.
Go, baby.
agreed
If it stopped there, I might be able to accept it. It won't stop there. Big Government will be all over everything you do, eventually. Every transaction you make, everything you buy and where, everywhere your car goes, time and location.
The problem with the cameras is that it takes something
like the London bombing or shootings or kidnappings on the street to make them worthwhile. These things don't happen much ANYWHERE. Too much time with nothing to show for it, and they'll be using the cameras for the most inconsequential of "pseudo-crimes" thereby making the tiny crimes seem like big ones.We already know from the Nanny case in Florida how fallible any camera of this kind is; I hate to think of these things being used as devices for "positive identification".
