Big Brother is Always Watching

Last week while reading though the best free newspaper in Denver I came across a article that i found interesting and thought it was worth sharing to you all.

During the DNC Denver was awarded a large grant of $1 million dollars in which they used for surveillance camera which they stationed around the downtown area. The name for the project was fittingly called HALO. It stands for High Activity Location Observation. Today there over 60 cameras around town that the police monitor during the day and it is left unattended at night. And now the LT. in charge is ready to move its HALO operation into Denver surrounding neighborhoods. Placing them on street signs hoping there very presence will cut back on the crime. "its like putting a cop on every corner of the city.Its a very effective tool that we have been given the opportunity to use." The LT was quoted in saying. But does the cameras really protect us or are they really just another attempt at the police invading our privacy???
