Let's all cry for the privacy whiners

OK, just the other day some low life dirt sucking criminal thieving gang banger was wacked by one of his own outside an upscale Downtown Vancouver Restaurant. Yes it is sad when a human life is lost regardless of how worthless the life actually is. Fact of the matter is, this guy was just released from Jail and sad to say, the city is probably a little better off with less of his kind kicking around.

The problem arises when the innocent get caught in the crossfire of criminal activity. Furthermore, regardless of who gets wacked, murder is a crime and by definition performed by criminals.

So what am I getting at with the above more than obvious statements? Well, this post really has not that much to do with the actual criminals as what we as society are or are not doing to help prevent crime.

Crime of all sorts is happening on our streets on a daily basis... if not every minute. Sure we could increase the already over taxed police force, but what would that do except put more rookie cops with stun guns out on the streets looking for non english speaking people to zap. Many in the law enforcement industry have suggested surveillance camera's in public places, sounds like a good idea to me. With camera's out in the field, there would be less need for beat cops just wandering around aimlessly looking for trouble to happen. The wondering could be done electronically saving a massive amount of tax dollars on man hours.

So what is the problem? I'll tell you what, these whiney left wing crackpot dirtbags in the civil liberties groups. Ya ok, I can see a little bit of their concern with not wanting to become a police state similar to that in George Orwell's book 1984. The thing is, these camera's are not being put in a TV in your home. They are in Public places. As a public place, there is no expectation of privacy, so what you do is always subject to being seen by someone else in the public space. This way, if some dirtbag scum 1 goes and wacks dirtbag scum 2, the police can then go and arrest dirtbag scum 1. Perfect less scum on the street.

In a more practical situation, say your grandmother is walking down the street and some scuzbag thumps her upside the head and steals her purse. Perhaps this is the scuzbags' full time profession and your Grandmother was the 6th woman he knocked down that day. Maybe this time, she bumped her head and died. Now imagine what the situation would look like if there were camera's in public places. The shithead would probably have been nabbed at the beginning of his career, thus saving your grandmothers life. Makes sense to me, sad thing is, the privacy communists don't give a fuck about your grandmothers' life because they just want to be able to pick their noses in public without being seen by a police officer monitoring a series of camera's. REAL SMART PEOPLE. Fucking assholes.
