Ah. The old sieg heil program again. Those democrazies are nuts.
Is Houston a Dem city?
I’ve been saying it for a while. Texas you have a liberal problem.
governments going way beyond their job description , they should just do their job and stay out of peoples lives
Assuming the police will not compensate the businesses for the cost of developing and deploying this system, this is a clear violation of the takings clause of the fifth amendment.
You get what you vote for...
Do the Dems think this “endangers our democracy”? Or are they okay with this?
This is really Orwellian and I cannot believe it is being proposed in Texas, of all places.
Why not just skip the business and go straight to what they really want? Require every person in the city to have smart phone clipped to their chest like a police body cam and the video recorder streaming to the police station 24x7?
As anyone who was paying the slightest bit of attention during the COVID “lockdowns” knows, Democrats are strongly inclined to totalitarian government.
Klaus Schawb approves
Next step would be to connect it to your ESG score and then Central Bank Digital Currency. You shall behave if you want to eat. You'll need to be up to date on your mRNA jabs too.
Texas is slower than some and at least they didn’t slip it in like other Governor’s during covid. Here’s the current amount globally and U.S, expected to grow leading up to 2025. https://www.securityinfowatch.com/video-surveillance/article/21247833/why-smart-cities-will-accelerate-videos-move-to-the-cloud
Waiting for the ACLU. Waiting...
I am perpetual, I keep the country clean!
I am sorry, but government is completely out of control in this country.
A $500 daily fine if cameras not functioning?
So if criminals destroy the cameras the business owner pays the fine and must buy new cameras?
No wonder the defund the police movement is growing.
I’d expect the cameras would also be used by police to pick up the patrons of a business and use them to suborn perjury against the business owner.
Then, they can charge and/or extort the business owner.
They are just copying the Feds SOP.
You're on (Big Brother's) Candid Camera!
Dangerous Progressive city wants to be just like the Nazi-fied EU where there is a camera on every corner and building. Not only can they track your every move in the EU but they can remotely cite you for Climate Change Conspiracy Theory violations when you fart.
This is a high tech version of the Stasi.
Just wait until Sheila Jackson-Lee finds out. Her Highness will put a stop to that faster than you can say, “Don’t you know who I am?”
Cameras should be pointed at the the mayors home and city council members homes 24/7. Everyone would have access to view.
