Default video cameras in parks?

I have heard that they are going to start following a national trend to install video cameras in parks. Does anybody have a problem with this besides me??

I'm not doing anything against the law or wrong. Why should I have a problem with it?

On one hand if it would prevent perverts from lurking around my kid I am all for it. On the other hand it does feel a little big brotherish.

Who cares .... why would this be an issue , if you are doing nothing wrong ?

I prefer security over perceived "loss of liberties " .... video cameras are good for protection against criminals ..... and any cops who may want to to kick your ass for no reason like in California !!!

I would feel much safer with my family in a park with video surveillance .

To me loss of liberties is having your home bombarded by vile reality TV , rap hip -hop and , ever more violent cop shows and the whole MTV thing

I disagree with this type of statement as an argument for something. However if the cameras are focused on public areas where there is no right to privacy, then yes, there is nothing wrong with having the cameras in a public park. Yes, our right to privacy does not apply in the public like it does in our own home. So in a public place, while it may be "big brotherish" in my opinion is completely constitutional.

A few years ago, in Southern California, there were numerous reports of park vandalism which included scattered razorblades throughout the sand/wood chips in playground areas. I don't recall any horrible accidents, but these acts could have been prevented. There are cameras everywhere in today's world, not to mention those carried by John and Jane Smith and their 5 teenagers.

I'm more worried about my Nosy Neighbor than I am about Big Brother.

I agree. Put cameras anywhere there are kids and crime. The only ones to complain would be the liberals and the ACLU. We can always deport them. lol

This is an alarming and disturbing trend and another example how law abiding citizens pay the price for a few criminals.
IMO it will make them that much easier to start installing elsewhere once they are established in the parks.
No, I am not a left winger or a card carrying member of the ACLU.
