Ask James Bulgers parents what they think of CCTV. Ask the vicitims of the Boston Bombing…CCTV nabbed that fuckers arse real quick.
How do you expect Police and Security forces to function if you don’t give them the tools to do their job?[/quote]
The Boston Bomber was caught because some random guy happened to walk into his back yard. CCTV didn’t catch anything. As a matter of fact CCTV helped splash some kids face all over the news that wasn’t even involved.

Wrong.
The false identifications were being made by internet idiots with no training. Police had nothing to do with that.
CCTV allowed police to quickly put up images of these guys, thatt got them on the run to begin with.
Furthermore, guys get over it, you do not live in a Fascist dictatorship. Hate to break it to you, but there you go. Just because you are on CCTV footage does not mean the cops think you are guilty and must prove your innocence. Do you honestly think they are that stupid? Give them some credit for Christs sake!

Exactly. You can’t ignore the usefulness of the cameras being able to get his image out to the public quickly.
The fact is that cops scanning your license plate and knowing where your car is at various times is not an illegal search and is completely within the parameters of the constitution. I don’t want the govt. involved in my private life either but imo this is not an infringement. Damn they can have fingerprint records of you, who cares if they know where you’re car has been parked the last couple of years?

So, the police now know:
1.) Where your car is at all times
2.) Who you are emailing
3.) Who you send snail mail too
4.) Who you have been calling
5.) All of your financial information
They also have the power to:
1.) Freeze your accounts
2.) Garnish your wages
3.) Illegally search your home (Boston Bombing)
4.) Charge you with domestic terrorism and throw you in Gitmo (without Due Process)
Am I missing anything.
Ya, nothing to be concerned about at all. That piece of rotting paper in DC has my back.
