In both today's New York Times and today's Buffalo News decry the use of technology to fight crimes. To make their case, they cite privacy issues.
First of all, there is no "Right to Privacy" to be found anywhere in the Constitution that I have ever seen. Secondly, what presumption can I make about my privacy when I am walking out of a liquor store or into a sporting event?
While no one has seemed to notice, we already spend a fair amount of our day passing by cameras - at ATMs, in stores, even at the gas pump. You don't have to be a fan of "24" to know that there is no "privacy" in public.
On the other hand, if that technology can either help deter crime or help investigators put those responsible behind bars, isn't that a good thing?
