Two years ago, I wrote this OP ( ACLU Questions Chicago's Security Camera Network - I Don't.) criticizing the ACLU's idiotic opposition to security cameras on public streets. The recent bombing in Boston shows, once again, the NEED for these cameras which (monitored by security personnel) can not only catch bombers/terrorists while they set up their dirty work, and prevent the attack, but if the attack does go off, they can review the recordings, to then know who the perpetrators are, and have video evidence to convict them.
BUT NO. The authorities instead listen to the ACLU moronic loonies, and right now are asking the public for cell phone videos or snapshots taken at the time of the bombings. Shouldn't have to be asking for that, you guys! You should already have those videos, and if the cameras were in place, it's possible the bombings might never have happened. At the very least, you'd in good position to go after the dirtbags who did this, instead of fumbling about, as you are now.
