Elk Grove Surveillance Cam's Featured on NPR - Creepy or Comforting?

June 20, 2013 | 

On today's edition of National Public Radio's Morning Edition program, Elk Grove's park surveillance was featured.

The story noted that the city's surveillance program can easily see things such as license plates on cars and of course facial identity. There was no report if the surveilance program has led to the arrests of suspects from any of the city's theft incidents at local parks.

So is this comforting, or to paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, are we giving up our freedom in the name of security and will end up with neither?
