The NYPD is placing at least 500 surveillance cameras on the
streets, following a nationwide trend to install cameras in major
cities under the rubric of the “war on terrorism”. The same NYPD
that is notorious for videotaping protesters (as well as a host
repressive measures against the hundreds of thousands demonstrating
against the Republican National Convention, including denying permits,
“netting” whole crowds, and locking arrestees up inside a former toxic
waste dump without speedy access to a judge) is now gearing up to watch
your every move. Chicago, Philadelphia, and Washington DC have
already installed surveillance cameras.
In Bush’s wiretapped world, do you feel safer knowing this government is watching you?
The World Can’t Wait! Drive Out the Bush Regime!
