Policy Guidance Regarding Public Area Video Survei (Score 2, Informative)

Greetings,

Open Systems in Technology are not limited to computer systems. Public money spent on public surveillance is just like any other public expenditure, subject to the inspection of those that purchased it.

If a mother want to know that her son is at the playground he said he was going to, why can't she tune in to the camera over the web and see it?

Several years ago the Barre Open Systems Institute (bosivt.org) here in Vermont presented this paper (http://docbox.flint.com/~flint/barre/Barre_Public_Video_Policy_Draft_v01.pdf) to the Barre city fathers. This policy draft may help shape policy in Chicago, and is released under GPL V1.
