Does anyone think we're going too far in the installation of cameras? While I understand that there are few if any laws preventing this sort of thing, do we really want to encourage or at least condone expanding this technology which decreases privacy?
</snip> Kevin, I would suggest you check out this book by David Brin. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0738201448/sr=8-1/qid=1143132400/ref=pd _bbs_1/104-9541965-8205553?%5Fencoding=UTF8 It discusses this very topic, and it will make you think. Personally, I'm a lot less concerned about cameras in public places (where there is and can be no expectation of privacy -- hello, cell phone cameras?) than about real property records and other public records being available online freely and anonymously. And Brin's notion of "watching the watchers" would do much to allay those particular concerns. Jeni
