Mayor Bill Foster: Aspiring to be St. Petersburg's "Big Brother"

The great editorial from the St Petersburg Times on Sunday about the rise of government-controlled surveillance in this country reminded me about our Mayor Bill Foster's goal to equip most of downtown St Petersburg with surveillance cameras(it's actually one of his campaign promises), which he reaffirmed at an event in September. Of course he's already started us down the road to becoming a surveillance city with red light cameras, and if the Mayor gets his way he will be able to identify and log every person that goes into a liquor store, bar or any other business they happen to be monitoring. Just one more step towards Mayor Bill Foster becoming St Petersburg's "Big Brother".
