Imagine what life would have been like during the red scare when Mccarthy was on his witch hunts if we had the technology we have today! How many more lives would have been ruined?! People are also less likely to say what they truly feel when they know a camera is watching due to fear of future reprecussions so it would hinder the free flow of thoughts and ideas that is such a vital and necessary part of a free country. I am not at all implying that this is what Wilmington is trying to do by this whole analog thing but to suggest that only people who are criminals need to worry if there are cameras spying on citizens is dangerously naive.
