This is a gross invasion of privacy. We are supposed to be guanteed privacy in the USA. Most of us are aware that one by one our rights are being stripped but this is absurd. Being constantly watched like this would make me so paranoid. Gone are the times now where you can pick your nose or fix a wedgie without being watched for it.

Like so many people that oppose these are saying, what is going to stop the abuses. Now you can be watched doing anything. This is highly disturbing.

This first police state fuelled by big brother lore will be Rio De Janeiro before the Olympics. The crime rate over there is alarming and backed by the NAU this is going to happen.

They even state in the article that the crime rate has not gone down. This goes to prove that this is more sinister than it appears on the surface. I agree with the rearview mirror comment to. LOL.
