What city do you live in that terrorists have been been making attacks in your local park? I can't recall any national news reports about terrorist attacks in any city's local park/parks.
Educate me and explain to me how putting cameras in a local park is letting the government...local or otherwise...strip away anyone's freedom? What freedom does the cameras deny you?

You tell me.. Obviously there is about zero chance for terrorism in a random park, yet I'm sure the cameras will come in quite handy monitoring whom is hanging out there..as it was in a not so up class area..
Ironically the day after the same news station reported that one of the local cities was taking down "red light" cameras at the busiest intersection in that town.. The city was claiming that accidents had decreased dramatically due to the cameras because people stopped running red lights. The reporter asked why take them down if they were solving a problem.. The city official claimed it was a UN-needed expense at that point..
Turns out that the city police were not writing as many tickets after the camera went active , but of course the city official wouldn't admit they were removing the cameras to increase ticket revenue.
Both of these were around the Orlando area.
