It's absolutely inevitable & 100% necessary, I'm afraid.
Personally, if "big brother" wants to point a camera on my house and yard, I seriously wouldn't object.
So long as I wouldn't be arrested for indecent exposure when I get dressed in front of the window, or when I occasionally go outside in my underwear during the summertime (VERY occasionally...)
I have nothing to hide.
I got a kick out of that shmoe on the Fox 25 Morning News this morning who voiced his concern about "them being able to zoom in and read (his) lips."
Dude, what are you talking about out on the street that is so controversial that you care if "big brother" knows about it? Puh-leeeze.
The only people who are worried about such things are LAWBREAKERS! Why do we concern ourselves about their protests? The heck with them! We can't arrest everyone guilty of a petty crime anyway.
Sheesh...last week I called the cops on some kids who were smoking pot in the parking lot where I work, and all the cops did was shoo them to the business next door!
How bad do you have to be these days to actually get into trouble with the cops?
So if you're doing something so bad that you're actually worried about being arrested...then maybe we ought to just arrest you on general principle!

If you are not doing anything wrong what is the problem? Is it any different than what Google is doing. If it can augment law enforcement and allow the officers to work on more pressing matters, what is the big deal.

They are on every corner in London. And afterall, Kim, we will soon be the next country to join the EU once your candidate is in place.

It seems like the people who live in this neighborhood want their cake an eat it. They want something done, and yet for some of them it seems like the solution of security cameras is worse than what’s going on. Why don’t they form a neighborhood watch association where they along with the police come up with some type of patrols in the neighborhood, or if the crime is that rampart and the police don’t have enough man power, then they should contact the Guarding Angels and ask them for help. The security cameras can be a last resort, but can also be a double edged sword.

Forgot another thing about the THERMAL IMAGING DEVICE it used all the time on traffic stops so they can tell if you have a bag pot lets say in your trunk or where ever....is this a warrant-less search? just throwing it out there....all objects give off heat they can tell exactly what in your car an most of the times in your house....This is a BIGGER ISSUE than C.C.T.V. your out in public in that scenario...

Id say if its come to that...that things have gotten so bad then yes cameras should be used to catch these moronic criminals in the act. The down side is...how many of those criminals will try the invasion of privacy defense. Not to say they would get away with their crimes but do we really need more drama in the news? I think that if people in that neighborhood are so afraid and so fed up then they need to do whats necessary to take back their neighborhood!

clueless liberal kim strikes again:
this has been going on in boston for over 2 years...why now the blog about NH?...hilarious

No, I'd just sit out on my deck all night with a gun. Target practice anyone??

momryan,

Those cameras that are pointing directly at your house is going to have a significant effect on you when you try to sell your house. Who in their right mind would want to buy it knowing their going to lose their privacy, unless their exhibitionists. Good Luck...

If we had Judges who would enforce the laws that were enacted by the legislature that the cops enforce then we wouldnt need cameras as people would actually be afraid of getting locked up and PUT AWAY--besides, as was previouly mentioned on this post, the criminals would all figure out a way to beat the system (as they use it the most) and the good folks would wind up getting screwed (as is usually the case). Even if you get the cameras the judges will let the criminals off. Why bother?---time to change the property protection laws--shoot first, ask questions later.

I really don't buy that "if you aren't doing anything wrong then it isn't a problem" argument. We should all be entitled to privacy in and around our homes on our own property. We should be able to sit and relax at home and not worry that the police or the nosey neighbor next door is peeping into our homes. We have Bush doing illegal wiretaps, and cameras everywhere. Taking away privacy bits at a time so we don't notice it then all of a sudden we have no privacy at all. It needs to stop somewhere.
