sehlat writes "From the Los Angeles Times comes word of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where 165 public surveillance cameras are being set up to be monitored by a "non profit coalition" of volunteers. The usual suspects, including "the innocent have nothing to fear" are being trotted out to justify this, and the following quote at the end of the article deserves mention.

But Jack Bauer, owner of the city's largest beer and soft drink distributor, calls the network "a great thing." His store hasn't been robbed, he said, since four cameras went up nearby.

"There's nothing wrong with instilling fear," he said.
