In a recent comment concerning privacy rights and the use of
surveillance cameras in public places Mayor Bloomberg said that present
circumstances require us to “change our interpretation of the constitution”.
1. I have no issues with the prolific use of surveillance cameras in public places.
2. I have no issues with changing the Constitution using the change mechanisms defined in the constitution.
3. I am (to be dramatic) horrified at the suggestion we should change our “interpretation” based on an agenda.
I sincerely hope that Mayor Bloomberg simply misspoke and does
not truly believe what he actually said.
I agree.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it seems that one should consider the possibility that PUBLIC surveillance is not a PRIVACY issue.
Agreed, and while I do have concerns about the misuse of information collected with surveillance cameras in public places I agree that an expectation of privacy in a public place is an oxymoron.
