I don't visit Home Depot like I used to. It's basically the cameras--that are everywhere. Along with the underpaid, miserable employees, and ever increasing monopoly prices.

I really despise surveillance, but I am guilty as charged. I have two dash cams in my vechicle.

I think I have a good reason though; being pulled over for driving a old car by our Revenue Collectors, having the nerve to drive past 11:00 pm, and just being pulled over because they can. Oh yea, I'm working on a app that will turn on my smart phone whenever it hears, "Officer".

I think the only remedy to over surveillance will be legislative. I hear it's illegial to video record store employees in France. I don't know if it's true, but we need some of these privacy laws. They will always counter with terrisiom, and theft/vandalism, and the general public will buy it.

Hand up!
