Frank you could pick nat shit out of pepper! ;-) S -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Frank Sent: Saturday, May 12, 2007 6:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [UC] Stop-N-Frisk, Racial Profiling and Law Enforcement Surveillance cameras are not mentioned in that article at all! They use the word "surveillance" to refer to the level of Stop 'n' Frisk that is used. Like so: "The empirical evidence from New York City is that stop-and-frisk as a policy for getting guns off the street helped. I think that's fair to say. The fact is that more surveillance in society tends to be effective," said University of Chicago law professor Bernard Harcourt. "The only question is, where do you want to set the level of surveillance? It's a cost-benefit analysis," he said. Cities need to weigh the potential benefits against "liberty interests and the inevitable racial disparities and increased complaints of police misconduct" that have followed such programs, he said. As an answer to your statement, I think being constantly videotaped IS a violation of my rights. (And yes, I know it's already happening.) More interesting is the list of "most read" and "most emailed" articles in the right sidebar. That shows what people REALLY care about and it's sure not election issues.

What you should also notice in the article is the data regarding surveillance cameras, a Fattah proposal. The reason being, if you can see who is doing what and breaking the law, you don't need to random search or risk violating the rights of innocent people.
