Smart cameras for social control and military domination
Online Journal is carrying a story by Andrew Kaluki, which is the best general overview article I have seen lately on the social implications of using smart cameras. He has an excellent web site titled Automated Surveillance.
The article is full of examples of how smart cameras are being used. Including some that I did not know. For example:
In Manalapan, Florida—one of the nation's wealthiest cities—cameras and computers have been set up to run background checks on every car and driver that enters [10]. The system alerts a 911 dispatcher if the car is stolen or the driver is suspected of a crime. Infrared cameras record each car's license tag number, and other cameras photograph the driver.
