They are already storing the data in discreet segments. Combining that data into a superset doesn't require any additional space.<br /><br /><i>I don't believe the cameras and all they witness are databased...</i><br /><br />Yet, they are in fact doing it. These are digital images of license plate numbers stored just as they store digital images of finger prints. The difference is how they are used. Finger print use is pretty much objective. However, the data on the plates can be used for more subjective reasons. <br /><br />The difference between those who accept this as progress and those who reject it as one more encroachment on privacy and individual rights is the difference between those who view government as a benevolant parent and those who view it with distrust.<br /><br />The point I made about an executive with no restraint as defined by Obama has to be factored in when deciding which group you fall into.<br /><br />.<br /> Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-89576360565398158512012-10-02T09:02:21.216-04:002012-10-02T09:02:21.216-04:00I don't believe the cameras and all they witne...I don't believe the cameras and all they witness are databased (that would be quite the monumental task all its own). Rather the recorded video is kept on file for a period of time and only looked at when a specific reason requires it (like a crime). Video requires quite the data space to store and it would be currently untenable to store video recorded all over the friggin place for all time.Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16688752302081088907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-37510731610928334172012-10-02T03:05:21.720-04:002012-10-02T03:05:21.720-04:00.

People in law enforcement have described it as a massive database. In addition, there is action being taken among certain agencies to combine all the pieces into one super-database, a database that will likely outlive you and me.<br /><br />You point out the advantages of the database. I see the 'potential' disadvantages, especially, in a country here the president says he has the authority to assassinate American citizens without charges, indictment, warrants, trial, etc., in a country where the term 'terrorist' can be broadened to include just about anyone, in a country where people never hear details of why you've been 'detained' because the info is secret and too sensitive to release to ordinary citizens. You can say that kind of thinking is just being paranoid, but wasn't it within the last two weeks that you were hotter than hell about the guy who was institutionalized due to comments he made on a blog.<br /><br />We have spooks up the kazoo, CIA, NSA, etc., not to mention the thousands of people in Homeland Security, FBI, ICE, local law enforcement, etc. all sitting around looking to do their duty. Pray you don't fit a profile.<br /><br />.<br /><br />Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-88107574056919777362012-10-02T02:35:35.379-04:002012-10-02T02:35:35.379-04:00.
