i was bored and decide to read some old threads. this i found this one to be very interesting, even more so since on the news today, that on average your pic is taken 50+ times a day.

You have no reasonable expectation of privacy the minute you walk out your door. They're much more of a problem for the crooks than me.

Cameras in public are a good thing.

Perhaps the gov. can monitor peoples driveways and front and rear intrances to determine who gets a lot of company.
Chester the Molestor can photograph any one they want in public . . .
Hell, I can't possibly see any problems with this at all . . .

Perhaps the government could sort through the pics/videos and sell some of them to pay of the national debt.
Old J. Edgar Hoover would have been happier than a pig in ****. He could set up cameras and video tape peoples houses etc. . . . oh wait he did.
Technology is advancing at a fast pace and privacy is at a premium. People still have a right to privacy. Everyone is not into voyeurism. You want to give up your privacy, thats your business, mine is mine.

Truly pathetic. If there wasn't a rule against name calling I'd call you a complete idiot...but I'm not gonna break any rules.

I should have known only a troll would start an argument in a 3 month old off topic post. Just fyi, several of the people including one that you recently quoted don't hang out here anymore.

When I was in London England, I noticed 100's of cameras.
My first thought was:" If I get mugged here, the camera owners should be able to supply the police with a pic of the person who did it. "
Then I moved on to the next one near Starbucks

I cannot drive anywhere in my area without seeing some idiot run a red light. Just today I was in the middle lane of three when the light ahead turned yellow, the cars on both sides of me ran through the red light, one narrowly missing a motorcycle that had the green. I cought both cars at the next light - they had saved nothing. Recently the secretary at my wife's church was killed when a 23 year old decided to save 40 seconds by stretching a light. A community near by has installed cameras at just four intersections and they have already cought over 20,000 violators. If it takes cameras to protect me and mine from such as these, bring them on.

Lets install them into everyones house and improve the war on drugs. Lets install them inside everyones car at an angle that can monitor the speedometer. Or better yet, install gps units in everyones car and track everyone's speed on specific highways.

Want to maintain your privacy, pull the shades. Outside or in public spaces, you're fair game and have been for a long time. Can't even tint your vehicle windows up front.
So what?

Just a thought, if you are out in public and doing what you are suppose to be doing and have nothing to hide, who cares. Let the guy take a picture of me filling my truck up with gas, it will keep the local camera shop in business developing film. Let them monitor my speed, it will give somebody a job and get another person off welfare. Let the police can sit outside my driveway all day long, maybe it will slow down half the people driving down my street.
Mind you, the GPS unit would be handy so I could find my wife half the time.
Like Sinjin just posted, just pull the shades if you want some privacy.

To any of you truck drivers out there, you get your picture taken at the weigh stations every time you pull in here in Washington state(don't know about other states). Sophisticated recognition software is used to put a name to that face and to that peticular truck. Cross another state scale and they know where you have been and how long it took you. If it took you longer than they think it should have there are questions to answer. Rumour has it that the cameras don't get turned off when the scale is closed so if you stop in to use the "porta-john", be sure you smile at the birdie! Kinda reminds me of the Soviets and the ways they kept track of the Russian citizens .
