“A rather Orwellian council proposal in California would see police able to remotely access the feeds from home security cameras in San Jose. The idea, forwarded by City Councilman Sam Liccardo, calls for citizens to volunteer their own CCTV systems, registering them with local law enforcement, so police can monitor whatever the cameras are trained on. The idea came about after local business owners volunteered CCTV footage following a series of arson crimes in a downtown district. San Jose’s independent police auditor, retired judge LaDoris Cordell, lauded the idea, calling it a logical step and stating ‘You tend to behave when the cameras are on you.'”
