Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 " . . . an aldermen proposed and Mayor Daley has voiced his strong support of a new law mandating that every business in the city install a camera and hook it up to command headquarters. If any business would prefer not to have a camera or have a camera that goes to the back of the store instead,if this law passes they could have their business shut down by the city for failure to comply. " This of course means that not only would Chicago be transformed into a city, where nobody can leave their home, go to a movie, or shop without the local government being able to watch their every move on tape. But the Police can barge into any store and shut down the person's business, if they don't have their camera hooked up to the Police Department reality TV studio.What I find so bizarre about this proposal is that Mayor Daley and the city council by even proposing this, are behaving as if it is normal and natural in America to have millions of law-abiding citizens put under surveillance.
