And legislation could control what could be done with public surveillance cameras as well, such as prohibiting the sorts of police abuse suggested here, and setting penalties for it.
So tell me Larry - which statutes, exactly, said it was legal and not abusive when the FBI hassled Martin Luther King Jr, and tapped his phones, and all that other stuff they did? You see, Larry, neither a wiretap nor a camera has any moral sense of its own. They can't tell if they're being used for illegal purposes. And the problem is that there has *never* been a government that was able to consistently resist the temptation to abuse a technological device. The only way to ensure that the camera up on the pole isn't abused is to not put it on the pole in the first place.
