We are entering an age where personal boundaries and private information is shrinking by the minute. I guess it just up to how we let that information define us now.

However when you think about the people who could be looking at all the pictures on your blog, it's mind boggling. Not so good while I am doing government work.

Most of our camera's cost $1500, the one that we can rotate and is located at the 150 level of the stack cost $5000 We’ve just installed about 14 camera’s at work and security gates which only open when you swipe your card over them.

I've got nothing against private buisnesses putting up cameras within their premisis and recording it. My problem is with cameras that are recording public areas like streets, parks etc. Just to make sure I’m not misunderstood.

With video analysis programs progressing as they are you would be surprised the number of companys that would like to analysis these types of videos for markets purposes. Has the overall crimerate decreased since the invention of the video camera?

What is spotted on one camera is often seen better on another camera. 2. Viewing is not always done at live - as the wages to do so are very expensive and even when their is some live viewing, the individual cannot view all the cameras simultaneously. 3. When an incident is reported, the viewing of the tapes often involves slow motion viewing and zooming in for details. Having said that, I, too, share your fear of the "big Brother" state. Would you feel more comfortable if the tapes could only be stored for 40 (?) days with the exception of those segments needed as evidence? The recording is also needed because:
