Chicago: Daley Wants Security Cameras at Bars
I tell ya, folks -- we're living in more and more of a 'surveillance society' every day.
Judy Keen writes in USA Today:
Surveillance cameras — aimed at government buildings, train platforms and intersections here — might soon be required at corner taverns and swanky nightclubs.
Mayor Richard Daley wants to require bars open until 4 a.m. to install security cameras that can identify people entering and leaving the building. Other businesses open longer than 12 hours a day, including convenience stores, eventually would have to do the same.
Daley's proposed city ordinance adds a dimension to security measures installed after the Sept. 11 attacks.
The proliferation of security cameras — especially if the government requires them in private businesses — troubles some civil liberties advocates.
