If I was going to push for a new constitutional amendment it would be one banning city state and federal government from spying on the people. Governments have no business spying on the people.



'We're going to have more visibility and less privacy': Mayor Bloomberg admits soon NYPD surveillance cameras will be on nearly every corner and in the air - NY Daily News

Big Brother is watching. Now get used to it!
Envisioning a future where privacy is a thing of the past, Mayor Bloomberg said Friday it will soon be impossible to escape the watchful eyes of surveillance cameras and even drones in the city.
He acknowledged privacy concerns, but said “you can’t keep the tides from coming in.”
“You wait, in five years, the technology is getting better, they’ll be cameras everyplace . . . whether you like it or not,” Bloomberg said.
The security measures have drawn scorn from some civil libertarians — but Bloomberg scoffed at privacy concerns on his Friday morning program on WOR-AM.
“The argument against using automation is just this craziness that 'Oh, it’s Big Brother,’” Bloomberg said. “Get used to it!”

Mayor Bloomberg has an obsession with control.

Good evening,Solaris.

Seems to be a prerequisite for "serving" the public. Some are just better at fooling the voters than others! :lamo

Yeah, they are starting to have the same level of paranoia as Israel. Shouldn't be long until they start building a wall around their city with checkpoints to get in and out.

Looks like New York City is turning into London, England. . .

I would venture to say that the majority of politicians do. That is why they seek positions of power.

Even New Year's in New York is weird...............Like some sort of ubercool choreographed M&M party given under the watchful eye of the "adults"............................

Do you think they've always been that way, or do they suffer delusions of grandeur when they got a little authority? Sounds like a wanna-be dictator's thinking to me!

here is the delusion of privacy lots of people existed under. Many people thought because it was hard to have eyes everywhere in public that it gave you privacy from monitoring in public and private places you do not own. However, from a legal standpoint once you went out in public you had the potential of being viewed by any witness. It just happened that there were not that many eyes, or things like reliable witnesses like cameras. You still had the potential to have your actions witnessed, it was just less likely and people equated that with privacy. You are not private out in public. You are not private when using other people's things.

Plus there is the NYPD 'stop and search' perversion of the 4A that is being challenged as we speak.

I think you're right.The people of New York deserve the government they elect, but I am sure that a significant portion of the population did not vote for Bloomberg.
 
Re: 'We're going to have more visibility and less privacy': Mayor Bloomberg admits so

It seems like Bloomberg is going senile.

You're private in your backyard, unless there's a drone orbitting your neighborhood, of course.
 
Re: 'We're going to have more visibility and less privacy': Mayor Bloomberg admits so

We've been losing our privacy for years now and both parties are responsible.

We no longer have politicians who care about "we the people." Today they only care about the party they belong to. :shrug:

Meh, I'll never go to New York and see no reason why anybody would ever choose to stay there. May as well be living under a dictatorship.

When it comes to anti-2nd amendment laws a lot of people have the mentality "Oh its just New York I don't live there,so I don't have to worry" or "Oh just California I don't live there, so I don't have to worry". But the truth is these states are a preview of whats to come if we do not remind the elected officials who is the boss and who is the servant. That includes this spying on the public nonsense that those governments are doing.

It's not just about the Second Amendment, it's the entire composition. Both New York and California are miserable failures when it comes to constitutional rights, and anyone who stays in those places ****s themselves. If more people left to states that honored American rights as stated in the Constitution, those states would learn something. Instead, they exacerbate the situation by subjugating themselves to that crap, as though they're peasants under a crown.

It seems every week he's trying to assert control over new Yorkers...

Hey new York, here I thought you guys were among the most fiercely independent set of people on the planet... And now you got daddy Bloomberg telling you what to eat, where to smoke, how to defend yourself, and now that he's going to watch your every move to make sure you behave....

What happened to you??

I have this theory that living in cramped overcrowded smog filled cities ****s your mind up.If you look at any population density/political map most of the liberals live in these cramped overcrowded smog filled cities.

Hopefully elected officials in other states will keep that insanity from spreading.

The heavy social indoctrination doesn't help them much, either.
 
Re: 'We're going to have more visibility and less privacy': Mayor Bloomberg admits so

:scared:

Why is it every time Nanny Bloomberg opens his mouth he has to prove he's a control freak idiot? This guy and Cuomo...

I think conspiracy theorists have run out of things to fear that the government will try next. What more do they have left but door to door gun confiscations or cameras inside the home (aside from our cell phones ofc, they already have those.)

Its scary when Alex Jones doesn't sound crazy but spot on.

I love this "we" - from someone who can easily afford zero visibilty and complete privacy for himself, as a multibillionaire - or guarantee it, without spending a penny, as the most powerful mayor in the world
