D.C. is looking to vastly expand it's surveillance capacity by linking the government's big brother network into the tens of thousands of already existing private security cameras.

Another example of how corporate tyranny goes hand in hand with government tyranny.



D.C. expanding public surveillance camera net

Big Brother may already be watching you in the District, and he will soon have a lot more eyes trained in your direction.

The city's homeland security agency is planning to add thousands of security cameras from private businesses around the nation's capital and the Metro system to the thousands of electronic eyes that authorities are already monitoring 24/7.

Robyn Johnson, a spokeswoman from HSEMA, told
The Washington Examiner that "the program has not expanded to include private businesses." But, "We continue to explore this in a deliberative way."

We should find out which companies do that so we can stop going there.

given the one DHS video at walmart 'report anything suspicious', I would suspect Walmart would be one on the list...

Because they are creatures of and created by government, and will usually do what they are told.

We need separation of corporations and state that can actually be enforced.

Funny how London has over a million security cameras, and it has not increased "public safety" at all there! Just as many robberies, just as many muggings, attacks, assaults, and crimes, but when compared to the number of convictions, the total convictions has not gone up at all. Isnt that the antithesis of putting cameras everywhere?

Unless... They are using those cameras for something else other than protecting the public.

I so wish I were creative..... this is begging for a 'Come Spy with Me!' parody of the 'come fly with me' song....

then again, I just went to look for the TSA 'Comply with me' song and the audio was yanked for the sound track...

Maybe they get their chuckles watching people get mugged.

I'll get to work on it...

Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
If you can use some exotic booze
There's a bar in far Bombay
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away

Come fly with me, let's float down to Peru
In llama land there's a one-man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
Come fly with me, let's take off in the blue

Once I get you up there where the air is rarified
We'll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so near
You may hear angels cheer 'cause we're together

Weather-wise it's such a lovely day
You just say the words and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away

Once I get you up there where the air is rarified
We'll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so near
You may hear angels cheer 'cause we're together

Weather-wise it's such a lovely day
You just say the words and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly
Pack up, let's fly away!!
