The Domain Awareness System designed by the NYPD and Microsoft Corp. uses data from a network of cameras, radiation detectors, license plate readers and crime reports, officials said.
“We’re not your mom and pop police department anymore,” Mayor Bloomberg crowed. “We are in the next century. We are leading the pack.”
Well, technically the 20th century is “next” to the 21st, so I think I know whose police department he’s emulating.
Apparently, they USED to be a mom and pop police department in the last century. Under Giuliani, I imagine.
Now they’re leading some kind of “pack.” Under Bloomberg.
Pack of idiots?
Hey New Yorkers, hold your 32 oz. Big Gulp cup up to the camera and smile. Let ’em track that by the thousands.
We, the loyal members of New York City’s local 1021, of the International Brotherhood of Thugs, Pugs; Muggers; and Rapists (IBTPM&R) wish to go on the record as being totally and completely opposed to this unconstitutional and unethical use of surveillance cameras. Obviously the authorities (who used to be no more then a harmless mom and pop operation) plan to use these cameras to monitor and curtail our activities. This could result in impeding our ability to earn a living and support our dope habits and will result in forcing many of us onto the welfare rolls. Is this fair? I mean is this Russia…or what!?
