So if you recognized the words you used, then you should have been easily able to "recall" from just a few days ago, that the ACLU had "anything to do with the link" you posted, as well as being right in the title of that link, itself. Right ? Right WinterBorn ? Right ? Right ?1. If you don't like the phrase ""In the time it took you to......yada yada yada", then why did YOU state it that way? I borrowed it from YOU , remember ?Of course. And that is the beauty of video cameras. They do just that.True, but the camera could still pick up other distinctions. Such as a particular type of boots or shoes, pants, shirt, jacket, gait, slight limp, peculiar habit (ex. rubbing one's ear), scars on arms, legs, or hands, tattoos, particular type of drink, food, candy, or cigarette, etc.
Nobody said the camera could do everything, but it is catching thousands of criminals all across America (who are NOT wearing hoodies)
Unless the camera can pick out the details of something specific to that one individual, and that cannot be on anyone else, it would be worthless in court.
In the time you have taken to not tell us (in a nutshell) WHY they think the cameras are not a good idea, you could have told us 1000 times over.I meant WHY do they think the cameras are not a good idea. Upon what do they base that "judgement" ?
It is a magazine article. It is a few pages. Read the link. In the time you have taken to ask me 3 times to give you a Readers Digest version, you could have read it.
And you could have read the link I provided. That is kinda the point of links.
But if you insist on staying off topic, I guess that answers it all.
Where was I off topic ????????
Every time you post whining that I won't give you some "in a nutshell" version of a link I posted. Read the freakin link or don't. No skin off my ass either way.
You want big brother watching. We get that. Some don't prefer a nanny state.
1. When I ask you to simply tell us what the ACLU said about street cameras, that's NOT off topic. It's concerning street cameras (the topic).
2. Street cameras have nothing to do with "big brother." They are simply better law enforcement. Something we should appreciate (unless they're criminals)
3. Street cameras are not a nanny state either.
Strike 1. Strike 2. Strike 3.
If you had stopped at asking for a summary, then perhaps it would not be off topic. But the whole "In the time it took you to......yada yada yada" was certainly off topic.
I would be embarrassed to admit I wouldn't read such a link as I posted.
I don't recall saying that the ACLU had anything to do with the link I posted.
The cameras most certainly have to do with Big Brother. He is the one watching them. It is the gov't employees playing voyeur with out wives & daughters.
2. I don't know what you're talking about that would be embarrased about. (????)
3. You said it by having the ACLU in the title of the link. HA HA HA!! What's the matter ? Don't you read your own links ? >>> What s Wrong With Public Video Surveillance American Civil Liberties Union
And yes, I recognized the words I used when you refused to answer a simple question. I provided the answer in the form of a link. You are just too lazy to read it.
Once again, I was interested in the content of the website. Funny that you can harp on all this, but you cannot read a link that is just under 1,600 words. Stay on topic, and get back to me when you have read the problems listed in the link.
