[funsec] UK bomb car tracked by highway license plate scanners

[Blanchard_Michael at emc.com]

I have a *very big* problem with making the camera feeds publicly accessible (and against cameras in general).... 

  There are enough perverts walking the streets looking for children to molest/rape/kill/chop up into bits/etc.  I certainly don't want those same perverts access to cameras that will literally follow my kids home.

  Nor do I want those criminals access to the same cameras that can watch to see if anyone's around.

  NO, the argument that they'll be caught on the same cameras when they catch  child doesn't help at all...  Especially when those criminals really don't care if they get caught... Or if they just wear a big coat with a hood to cover themselves up... 

  OK, even if those perverts never touch a child and just stay home watching these feeds, that's bad enough....

  Yes, I'm totally completely against cameras on the street in the US like in the UK....

>>Since these two truths are self evident, it would be a case of
felonious douchebaggery to only allow the Watchers and Criminals access
to these systems. How about making the surveillance systems available to
anyone via public multicast? 

I don't have a problem with this. Make them all public channels.
