This is just creepy (emphasis mine):
The Memphis Police Department wants businesses and people with video surveillance equipment to help the city fight crime.
The Real Time Crime Center (RTCC) launched a program Monday to tap into video streams from private surveillance cameras. The images would be used to track criminals or collect information as part of an investigation..
Sounds like we're getting all Londonish down there. Here's a good comment left there by molonlabe28:
And just what is the difference between this and an Orwellian police state?
Oh yeah, in an Orwellian police state the police chief would sue anonymous bloggers to learn their identities, lest we have any dissent.
Wonder where that idea came from?
