An Iowa city has passed an ordinance requiring hundreds of commercial buildings and apartment complexes to literally leave the keys outside in case of an emergency, allowing quicker access to first responders but potentially to those up to no good, as well.
The Cedar Falls City Council voted 6-1 on Monday to expand an existing 2004 ordinance that required lock boxes containing keys at buildings with six or more units and commercial buildings with sprinkler system or unsupervised alarms. The new ordinance, which can become law with a signature by Mayor Jon Crews, expands the requirement to apartment buildings with just three or more units.
I just think it's the principle of the whole thing. The government has NO FUCKING BUSINESS having keys to ANYTHING personal. There is truly no privacy with this model. And the thing that pisses me off the most, is the blatant arrogance that these council members have towards this issue.
didn't watch the whole video but most apartments and large commercial properties have these boxes so firefighters can get quick access.
True, but I think the crux of the message is that they did vote and it did pass that now residential properties are subject to this as well, as of Monday.
