"I don't believe that the police should have cameras of their own in constant use on city streets."
I'm speaking hypothetically now. What if the cameras weren't controlled by the police? Say, the city government or even a private corporation was in charge of installing, maintaining, and archiving the video of cameras that were installed in city streets. Assume, also, that your argument that the police require a warrant to view the tapes is in effect.
Does this make it any better? How is this any different than a private citizen installing cameras on his/her property? The police can't arbitrarily track you, but *someone* still can.
Installing cameras (whether on streets, in schools, or wherever), is not the answer to the problem, IMO. |
