NYPD to unveil terrorist tracking system, Commissioner Kelly says

Source: NBC News

The New York Police Department will officially unveil its sophisticated surveillance system to track criminals and potential terrorists as soon as next week, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Saturday.

Kelly said the city developed the software with Microsoft, The Associated Press reported.

Kelly said the "domestic awareness system" combines citywide video surveillance with law enforcement databases.

He said the tracking system will be officially unveiled by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg as soon as next week. Kelly spoke Saturday before an audience at the Aspen Security Forum.

3. Minority Report - here we go...

Since there are probably only 3 actual potential terrorists in all of NY, what is the system's real use? It'll be used to spy on petty law breakers and anyone who dissents from the status quo. It's like building a prison system - it wouldn't do to waste all that capacity, so let's get busy filling it!!!!!!

4. When you see "potential terrorist," read "citizens."

I'd bet they'll be tracking more peaceful protesters than anything else.

Yeah, I guess this is as close as we get to a jobs program: funding for the military/security industrial complex.
