NOT Watching

By now the Dunwoody City Council has probably approved Billy's Single Source demand for surveillance cameras so they can watch you. Single Source purchases should be raising more than a few eyebrows but there are other much more serious concerns.

Will the camera feeds be publicly accessible? Why not? Do the people being filmed have a right to privacy? If so, why are they being filmed? If not, and these videos are done on the public dime then they are public property and should be publicly available. So...make it happen.

Be no less surprised that Council approves this targeted expenditure than they offer some flimsy explanation why you cannot gain ready access to public information they collect. We know they're watching, they probably do not think that we are, but what are they hiding?
