Mississippi ACLU executive Director Nsombi Lambright said she has concerns over privacy issues with a large spying device hovering over the city, whether a government agency or a private company runs it.
Yeah, yeah, retorts prosecutor (wouldn't ya know?) Faye Peterson...
“A defense attorney is likely to dispute anything..."
Actually, it's a plane. A chopper, to be exact.
The vehicle, called Metro One, features an array of high technology and spying devices, such as a 360-degree 18x zoom color camera, video recording, a GPS inflight map, a 20-million candle searchlight and, most notably, an infrared camera that can pick up both biological and mechanical heat signals.
OK, a chopper "vehicle." And...
“We’re always talking about needing more judges, more prosecutors, more jail space, more this, more that. We don’t have the money for that, ladies and gentlemen. What we do have the money for is preventing crime. I think you’re going to be turning on the television and hearing about crimes that were about to happen being stopped,” announced SafeCity director Mark McCreery.
SafeCity? A private company all set to help stamp out crime in Jackson, Mississippi. Before it happens. The crime, that is. Not Jackson. Jackson's already happened, as I recall.
What I'm wondering is, why don't they just lock everybody up and go from there? Because you can be too free, chump, but you can never be too safe.
