Bush Admin Lax on Civil Rights Enforcement

I live in Baltimore (which already has the said cameras). I don't feel any different, since I'm not doing anything wrong. It's those who are doing things like robbing banks, or assaulting people that need to be worried.

Or mabey people who have converstaions with suspected dissidents. While cameras in public places technically does not violate any constitutional ammendment, its a very slippery slope. Its amazing how people are letting themselves be pulled step by step into a 1984 style survalence socioty, and arent' even angry about it.
This year 24/7 survalence of public streets, next year (or the one after) random cameras implanted in people's homes. All in the name of catching terrorists you understand.

Right on Darkwolf.

Wait, do you hear that? Shhh.. it's not hard to identify. You can hear them chipping away at our very rights. *chip* *chip* *chip*

Cameras in streets, no biggy. National ID cards, no major biggy. But when you add it all together. :blink: & after all the neocons are convinced the sheeple didn't BA'H in disgust too loudly the last time they chipped another small freedom away - then why not keep taking more... and more... and more.... That's how it will happen. That's how it has been happening, and how it will continue to happen.

[/B]ITHACA, N.Y. -- In a study to determine how much the public fears terrorism, almost half of respondents polled nationally said they believe the U.S. government should -- in some way -- curtail civil liberties for Muslim Americans, according to a new survey released today (Dec. 17) by Cornell University.

About 27 percent of respondents said that all Muslim Americans should be required to register their location with the federal government, and 26 percent said they think that mosques should be closely monitored by U.S. law enforcement agencies. Twenty-nine percent agreed that undercover law enforcement agents should infiltrate Muslim civic and volunteer organizations, in order to keep tabs on their activities and fund raising. About 22 percent said the federal government should profile citizens as potential threats based on the fact that they are Muslim or have Middle Eastern heritage. In all, about 44 percent said they believe that some curtailment of civil liberties is necessary for Muslim Americans.
