The Fire Chief in Cedar Falls, IA went to the City Council and asked them to demand that every commercial business and every resident in an apartment building with three or more units to give them a copy of their door key. Those keys will sit in a lockbox outside the building, a lockbox city employees can open any time.
Now this proposal isobviouslyridiculous, so youre thinking that the vote must have been completely lopsided. And youre right. It was 6-1....in FAVOR. And theyve voted TWICE.
The purpose is to allow cops and firefighters to easily access your home or business in case of an emergency. But whats an emergency? Whatever a city employee who happens to have the lockbox key decides as an emergency. After all, who will be there to stop him?
