Bloomberg’s Vision of a Drone Police State Coming True

Posted by Now the end Begins – Envisioning a future where privacy is a thing of the past, Mayor Bloomberg said Friday it will soon be impossible to escape the eye of Big Brother in the city. “You wait, in five years, the technology is getting better, they’ll be cameras every place,” Bloomberg said during his weekly radio appearance. “Get used to it — whether you like it or not.” The Police Department already has a network of its own surveillance cameras throughout the city, including in Times Square.
