If they're not watching anything creepy, why not let everyone see it?

In the opening weeks of February, 2013, we have removed and destroyed 17 security cameras throughout the Puget Sound region. This act is concrete sabotage against the system of surveillance and control. It is also a message of solidarity and a wish of strength to the Seattle Grand Jury Resisters, those currently incarcerated and those not. Finally, this act announces our participation in the game of CAMOVER, called for by comrades in Germany.

It might not be your job, but its your responsibility to make sure all of the words find the proper mouths in which to be put.

@K: You're crazy or don't know your history if you can't name a terrorist "attack" in Seattle. Chris Monfort? Ian Stawicki? Naveed Afzal Haq?

These all happened in the last five years. If we include crimes against property, the list is too long to even start writing.

That said, I'm still against the cameras. We may make promises about what we're watching now, but they don't stop future people from breaking those promises without telling us.

As for the quotes, I don't know what to tell you. It's my job to report on what was said, not put words in people's mouths.

Can we just eliminate the entire police department and rebuild it from scratch with all new people? Perhaps a few that paid attention in logic school?

Can Kimerer name the last terrorist attack to happen within 1,500 miles of Seattle?

(No, that one is more than 1,500 miles away. Try again.)

Worrying about surveillance cameras is a little paranoid. However the quality of cameras has gone way up and so has the ability for software to recognize faces and license plates. As technology makes it easier to erode our personal freedoms we should step up and make it clear we value those freedoms.

Oh, I meant gay people.

Or perhaps I meant Arabs.

Or was it drug-users?

"Terrorists"?

Sure, fine, whatever.

They're threatening our God-given American freedoms! They hate us because they hate us! We must do whatever it takes to protect ourselves from [whatever].

Is there no tinge of embarrassment that the cameras are right across from the volleyball courts where high-quality athletic women play volleyball?

I want to see the videos of low-quality women playing volleyball.

The only way to find and prosecute assaults where the assailant is unknown is gonna be these webcams.

I say, lets hook up some Kinects programmed to scan for "crime moves".
