In this center you will find members of the Police Department and representatives of Wall Street firms looking at cameras spying on people walking around from lower Manhattan to the center of town; the Center is staffed 24 hours a day. We're not talking about a couple of cameras; there are over 3,000 cameras, 2,000 of which are owned by Wall Street firms.It operates round-the-clock.
The center is working on being able to track people in a variety of ways - the color of their clothes, eventually with facial recognition software. And, of course, they also get to see license plates via the center's equipment.
Who pays the bills? New York taxpayers and us, as the center has obtained DHS money as well.
1984, anyone?
