The Big Brother Stuff

Here's a quick run-down for those late to the game...

There are two separate camera programs under consideration by the Nashville Metro Police Department.

One involves traffic cameras that will snap a picture of your car when you run a stop light after which you will receive a traffic ticket in the mail.

The other other involves street cameras which will watch you on the street as well as be able to listen in on your conversations.

There are two separate posts on these issues today along with several other posts from the past several days. Just keep on scrolling...

Update - 04/19/05: For those in Knoxville, I'll have to point you to this post written last month regarding traffic cameras, revenue, and kickbacks.

Also, I'd recommend buying this.
