There is a difference between someone filming me while I am on their private property. (I consent to their conditions by stepping onto their property) and the government watching my every move.

Didn't answer the question at all. HOW DO YOU FEEL IN THE STORE? Do you get all scared and clammy, or what?


Too bad you cannot tell the difference.

I'd feel the same way if a traffic camera snapped my picture when I ran a red light, as I would getting taped by a store's security camera while I shoplifted.


And if I were you, I would seriously question your conservatism if you approve of the government filming your every move. It goes against everything classical conservatism is about which is: Less government and government intrusions into everyday life.

Traffic laws already exist, so there is no more "government" there. Whether I get bagged by a cop's radar gun, or a camera, makes no difference to me. Same amount of "government" either way.

A story FAR older than 1984...

Store cameras don;t scare me because stores are not the government.

Your second answer is the same old, "why worry if you've got nothing to hide?" nonsense.

Traffic laws exist, yes. Tracking the movements of citizens is not required to enforce them.

The UK is an excellent example of the slippery slope, Ornery. They now have full monitoring of nearly every public road and space. The government can and does track the movements of any citizen it chooses, without cause or warrant.

And it all started with just a few cameras, or red light cams.

Why are you ignoring my question Ornery? Can we attach a device to your willy? Don't worry, it'll only activate when you have sex with someone other than your wife.

I'm all for them.

I don't like the idea of private companies running the systems though.
