License Plate Cameras: Liberals Are Watching You

Of about a million dollars in political donations from Tiburon in 2008, it went to Obama and the other Democrats by almost 8-1. I guess the whole Bush surveillance thing was just a lot of talk, or it's only okay, ... as long as they're doing the watching.

Your presence has been noted.

The posh and picturesque town that juts into San Francisco Bay is poised to do something unprecedented: use cameras to record the license plate number of every vehicle that crosses city limits.

Some residents describe the plan as a commonsense way to thwart thieves, most of whom come from out of town. Others see an electronic border gate and worry that the project will only reinforce Tiburon's image of exclusivity and snootiness.

"I personally don't see too much harm in it, because I have nothing to hide," commodities broker Paul Lambert, 64, said after a trip to Boardwalk Market in downtown Tiburon on a recent afternoon.

I wonder if Paul minds me sitting outside of house or watching his grandchildren as they play in the park.
I mean if he has nothing to hide he shouldn't mind me watching. Right?

Not to worry. I read they're hiring Dick Cheney to head up the program. He'll be out any day to explain it's simply a program to protect us from terrorists, and law-abiding citizens really have nothing to worry about.
