Security cameras have been prominent in the investigation of Lauren Spierer's disappearance, which led the H-T to ask a question - should the city install security cameras downtown? One of the most important responsibilities government has is to not violate the rights of its citizens, so the first concern should be whether this infringes on civil liberties. My answer is that it does not. There is no real expectation of privacy on a public street, where all of your actions are already visible to everyone.
