Just watched on the news, there was a manhunt out for a woman who was video taped hiting her child in the backseat of her SUV. I dont want to get into a discusstion about disiplineing children but what dose bother me are the video cameras are everywhere nowdays. They are at stoplights, on the highways, ATMs ect...
Are we at the point of Big Brother? Are we going to have to watch our Ps and Qs? Are we going to be tracked down and drug out of our homes for the least little mistake in judgement?

One way to find remote camera feeds is to purchase this radio:

While the TV function is useless to me, the unit seems to be quite handy at picking up remote camera feeds.
Kinda funny to be walking down the street looking at the screen and next thing you know, you're on your own mini-TV.
Good for finding the buggers.

Often the mind believes it is thinking, when it is only passing from one metaphor to the next.
Guess we just don't fly for stuff like that down south..
If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.

I'm against cameras at intersections, etc...not because I'm a criminal, but simply because I don't like being watched. If I'm driving down the street with my finger in my nose...thats my business and no one else's.

Unless they have video of her actually hitting the child, nothing much will be done as it will boil down to her saying she was hitting the car seat...
Any mother than hits the child like that deserves severe and quick punishment... if she was hitting the car seat, she desperately needs help as the next time it may not be an object...

The sister was also arrested for not turning her sister in for this crime. It is beyond me how anybody can take their fist to a 4 year old girl. The mother had tried to return clothing for money without a reciept, possiable fraud, and was asked to leave the store which is why the surveillance cameras were focused on her in the parking lot, it wasn't by accident.
Now as far as Cameras go, I have always thought they were an invasion of civil Privacy, except were you would expect them like, in stores for shop lifting. I thought everybody knew about cameras in Mall parking lots to prevent Thieves from breaking into your car to steal your booty. Also that is surveillance on private property, just like it would be in your backyard if you put up a camera.
Don't get me started on Government cameras, I'll do a complete turn around on denying the privacy that the Constituion affords me.

So now it's come to this? Either snitch on your neighbor or go to jail yourself? What a load of crap.
Your papers please. Your papers are not in order.

I would suggest to anyone involved in any lawbreaking activity, to first, leave the country or, find another venue to commit your deeds. Leave me and mine the protection of this type of camera.

Well the problem is LAWS can change. One day it is illegal to kill old people just because they are old. 10 years later it's OK. One day you can spank your kids, but not hit them, then in 5 years you can't even spank them.
Second is that you said, "Leave me and mine to the protection of this type of camera" Now where exactly did that camera protect that little girl from actually being HIT? If you seek punishment for your offenders that is fine for you, but I prefer not to be offended the first time and NO CAMERA will do that!!!!! I don't need big brother because big brother there didn't come to that little girls rescue when she really needed it the first time. Matter of fact, where did big brother's help come for the other times her mom probably did that to her before?
Yup! there is another one who will take the 666 mark for the salvation of security.
Sir, we are both blowing smoke, but I at least have the courtesy to be smoking a fine cigar
And if anyone did notice, why didnt they do anything?
From what I heard on the news, the woman, a member of the Irish Wanderers (a group of migrant gypsy swindlers), was doing one of their standard con jobs: trying to return stolen merchandise to a store for cash. The store employees realized she was trying to screw them, told her to get out, and then apparently manually panned one of the parking lot cameras to try and get her license plate. That's when they captured the beating on tape.
I know people are apathetic these days, but I just cant believe anyone would ignore some psycho-b**ch smacking the crap out of her child in public. I would have cold-cocked her on the spot and waited for the paramedics to sort it out.
Reminds me of the video of the two drunken, shirtless baseball fans beating the crap out of the Kansas City Royals first base coach. The first base umpire and the first baseman himself promptly got right out of the way and just stared like a couple of idiots. Guys had to come out of the dugout to break it up.
"I dont want to get involved"
"Its not my problem"
"I dont want to get sued"
"Its none of my business"
Only a few of the asinine reasons for not stopping and helping... Funny how the reasons all have similiar themes... it always has to do with "me"
How many have driven by an accident cause fear of being sued gets in the way of helping?.. Wish I had a dollar for every time I heard that excuse...What about women that are told to yell fire instead of rape?... NO ONE CARES if she is being raped.. but when the tables are turned and your own life is in danger as in a fire... what happens?..
We have become a society concerned with ME... not our fellow man... Who cares what happens to the other guy... Leave me out of it...
That is our society today... Kinda scarey isnt it?

Also, on your other post, you said something about the woman needing anger management, etc. if she was hitting an inanimnate object to release her emotion. I don't have medical training, but I have punched / kicked hell out of a number of objects over the years when my temper threatened to boil over. I know for a fact that has scared the bejesus out of some people who've observed me in the act, but it works for me. I have never hit a child (my kids were spanked very little - one of them probably too infrequently), a woman, or anyone who wasn't an immediate threat to me, but there have been more than a few inanimate objects which had physical evidence of my displeasure. It may not be an approved method of dealing with my emotions, but as I said, for me it works a lot better than the touchy-feely stuff. And pain / bleeding knuckles cool me off a lot quicker than any words could ever do.

Just enough time for the little girl to heal.
I have the opposite problem that Black Roses stated. I do get involved sometimes when I shouldn't.

I agree with you. I was just pointing out that I don't have a problem with taking somebodys head and sticking in the seafood dept. of a grocery store after seeing him smack his kid so hard in the head the kid falls down.
There's a story I didn't mean to tell.
