Police to install cameras in citizen's homes
Houston Police Chief Harold Hurtt wants to install cameras everywhere in Houston, from streets to private homes.
Facing a shortage of police officers, Police Chief Harold Hurtt called Wednesday for a new type of patrol: surveillance cameras on downtown streets, apartment complexes and shopping malls — and in extreme situations, private homes.
"If you're not doing anything wrong, why should you worry about it?" Hurtt told reporters.

"If you're not doing anything wrong, why should you worry about it?"
Yet try to video tape a police officer and see what happens.
If crap like this is going to happen -- and technology and cost means it probably will -- at least it should work both ways. Far beter a Transparent Society than one where a few priviliged individuals are allowed to turn off their telescreens.
