Does the usefulness of street cams after the Boston bombing change the CISPA debate?

...which is not an indictment against their usefulness. In fact, if private business cameras were this useful, the government may as well just get its own cameras and cut out the middlemen.

shyt like that depends on usage and really it is a rights issue. You can't just toss rights out the window because something MIGHT help in SOME cases (can't believe i just wrote that.)
It really is a slippery slope in terms of when you stop "protecting" citizens and start fuking over civil liberties.
If "protection" is the ultimate goal then we should all have GPS tracking chips placed in us at birth that provide detailed information about us on a daily basis, have video audio and still picture capabilities, they should be able to determine drug use and come equipped with a "tazer" like setting where if they are looking for you they click it and you just stop moving till the cops (using the GPS) come pick you up.
I mean THAT would ensure all criminals were caught...right THAT would ensure "protection" right?
Where does it stop?

exactly. I'm sure we could stop a lot of crime by stopping and frisking everyone, and applying airport-like security to daily life. but yeah... fukk all that

GIVE EVERYONE A GUN WITH A CAMERA ON IT, BROTHER! PUT LITTLE CAMERAS ON THE BULLETS, DUDE!
:belip:
while were at it, we need to expand that useful stop and frisk strategy

in high crime areas, don't we pretty much do this already? In queens, we have nypd tower surveillance for miles. What's the difference between that and a camera?

This argument has already been overtaken by technology...The feds wont need street cams soon enough.....Google glass is here and apple and the others are sure to follow..might as well start getting used to the idea that anyone could be recording at anytimewelcome to the fishbowl
