Chicago Pondering Huge Camera Network

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the big-brother-is-watching dept.

andyring writes "According to ABC7 in Chicago, mayor Daley rolled out plans to install thousands of video cameras in public places across the Windy City. In some ways, I suppose there are positives, as all the existing and future cameras are tied in to the 911 emergency center, allowing a 911 dispatcher to actually watch the area in question when someone dials 911. Dispatchers will be able to control some of the cameras, such as panning and zooming in."

    This is also the mayor that destroyed Meigs Field under cover of night and with police protection to keep people away while he did it.

    This guy is a fucker. Underhanded bastard with no concern for the citizens of Chicago.
