Thanks for mentioning the peeping cameras put up before the public vetting. I wish government would find better ways to secure our future than spying on us in West Seattle. Please talk about this as this will be spread through the city. So you really trust the police with this technology? Perhaps they need a camera in the Port Commissioner's office.

I lived for years in London, and yes it was strange to be on TV all the time. However, I do not recall my civil rights ever being violated by the police. And I never was the victim of violent crime, either, which was very nice.

Of course, the video from drones belongs to the pigs and only the clips showing them in favorable situations would be shown to the public.
Ever get caught up in goverment's targeted killing campaign, with video "evidence" scripted as precisely as a documentary film?

Emmy-winning journalist, Shad Olson, explores the controversy over U.S. drone policy, both at home and abroad.

While technological sky supremacy gives America strategic superiority on the battlefield, the prospect of drone proliferation over U.S. cities is causing concern about loss of privacy, an end to Habeas Corpus and judicial due process and the destruction of Constitutional rights.

South Dakota U.S. Senator John Thune and former U.S. Senate candidate, Sam Kephart share their views about the consequences of domestic drone deployment in the fight against terrorism.

Originally aired on KNBN-TV, (NBC) NewsCenter1, Rapid City, South Dakota in February 2013.

If these camera are supposed to be for "Public safety" ---- then the ENTIRE PUBLIC should be able to see through these cameras as well --- via the internet. Why is it that only the police can view? If the police were really interested in community policing ---- we should all be able to sit in front of our computers and see exactly what they are looking at as well.

Long before I would go for the stop light cameras (which I don't like, but which are stationary -- and you know where they are, if you are looking) -- I think we should go for the abolition of K-9 dogs. I know someone who was bitten -- badly -- though I am not sure he ever pursued legal action. But evidently, bystanders, kids, other cops, passengers in cars when the drivers are stopped, all KINDS of people are bitten. It may not happen often, but it happens "regularly" -- and the bites are sometimes permanently disfiguring (and crippling). Also, as of last year, the legislature (based on trumped up claims that guys were sitting in prisons cranking out lawsuits against municipalities for millions for K-9 bites) passed a law that shifts the burden of proof from the police to the victim. Now, the city/county/state has no liability -- unless YOU (once you get out of Harborview) can prove they were negligent. All they have to say is -- gee, I followed my training. Guess the dog was just a little overexcited -- and you lose.
