I want a camera on the Pensions.  I want a camera on the tree grates.  I want cameras installed at the Stewarts shops.  I want a camera crew at the Fosters TajGarage.  I want GPS in all city vehicles.  I want punchclocks.  I want the employees to sign the Code of Ethics before we get another camera that will be underutilized.  Give Joy Hall a camera.

The city can put up 100 new cameras but if nobody is watching them what good do they do.

Quoted from Ididntdoit

GM says that when Schenectady gets 90k, we call a news conference. For 90K? C'mon. Give it to the taxpayers, that would be news conference worthy! Ugh, he's so damn arrogant.

It appears every day that Eric Arthur Blair (better known as George Orwell) was more of a prophet than just a talented British novelist/journalist.

The surveillance state has begun in many a American city over the last 20 years, from New York City to Chicago and now (reportedly) Schenectady.

Like it or not, fifteen new surveillance cameras will be placed at intersections in Schenectady. The specific areas, according to Schenectady County Sheriff Dominic A. Dagastino, are to be downtown in the area of Proctor’s Theatre and in the Bellevue neighborhood.

I am leaning towards not being in favor of this.

I live in Bellevue and I have been the victim of a break in, yet I am extremely apprehensive about having cameras watching me. No am I am not a criminal, but there’s something ‘off’ and wrong about knowing a camera is tracking your every move.

Throwing up these cameras, in my opinion, just opens the door up to more draconian and Orwellian practices...........................>>>>................>>>>...........................http://blog.timesunion.com/schenectady/schenectady-welcome-big-brother/2748/
