Wrong. Just wrong

Houston eyes cameras at apartment complexes

"Houston's police chief on Wednesday proposed placing surveillance cameras in apartment complexes, downtown streets, shopping malls and even private homes to fight crime during a shortage of police officers.

"I know a lot of people are concerned about Big Brother, but my response to that is, if you are not doing anything wrong, why should you worry about it?" Chief Harold Hurtt told reporters Wednesday at a regular briefing."

I dont see what is wrong with it

espically if it makes you think twice about commiting a crime.

And people who are having issues with crime should have them, if for no other reason than to protect thier property.

Remember, Big Brother is always watching, this is just more obvious than what our government does

Public areas, I can MAYBE see, but private homes?

And to Chief Hurtt I'd say, "You want cameras in private homes, fine -- we start with yours. The feed goes to the mayor's office and the local paper. That shouldn't be a problem, after all, you don't have anything to hide, now, do you?"

If I'm not doing anything wrong, why are you pointing a camera at me?

Ugh. If I never hear "If you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear" or one of its variants again, it will be too soon.
