The government is rationalizing its surveillance by claiming that people in public places have no right to expect privacy.
That being the case I believe we should be insisting that all such "public place" surveillance be made available in real-time on the internet for everyone to see.
If we do that we can ensure that the cameras are not used to peer into apartment windows, as the cameras at Cal Anderson have sometimes seemed to be so aimed.
Natasha: I double-checked with Gary Hill himself, since you seemed so sure, and you are absolutely right. The group that distributed the video mislabeled it. My sincere apologies and we'll get it corrected right away!
