Paranoia....Sweet Destroyer!

The world of see something say something is in effect today once again.  J.Edgar Hoover was a great American Hero that grew from nothing to become the head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, America's almighty police department.  Joseph R. McCarthy was a Republican senator in office during the height of the cold war in the 1950's.  These two men created a country where every person looked at each other for fault.
Civil rights and birth given rights are the basic premise of America.  With all it's problems, the United States is the best place to live and work.  Security and freedoms with in the boundaries of rules and laws allows the citizens to coexist peacefully.
It does not matter who or what you are or where you come from you allowed to live and work in this country.  Religion age or sexual orientation have nothing to do with you being a descent Human.
Fear is a great motivator among people.  Almost twenty years ago I was held up a gunpoint.  I was not physically harmed but I will never forget the ruin in my nose.  Al that was taken was a few hundred dollars and my Rolex watch and some jewelry.  At that moment "see something say something", did not work.  A few days after my holdup the criminal was captured.  He held up a few more places.  The surveillance videos from the other businesses showed his picture and it was matched with the police database.  People make mistakes and sometimes do not see everything.  Cameras on the other hand cameras never sleep and see everything that is in their line of sight.
Living in a safe and secure society is what make America the best place to live.  Having cameras in my office and in the surrounding street is the right way to curtail criminals.  The use of cameras to deter criminal activity reduces the risk of the suspect getting of the hook by the legal system because pictures do not lie.  Always on always watching.  Cameras are discreet and if placed strategically do not violate civil rights.
