If i do Something Like town, where i grew up. My community, people kind of know. Without anonymity, we had to behave better than we do with. Do you feel we need to preserve anonymity before we go about our liveles . In your small town, your parents, others, you, absolutely. But what didnt happen was that information wasnt tracked in perpetuity, forever. The ability to track information, your whereabouts, your mobility tracing is big. The ability of tracking this is not used the way it was intended. The reason we need privacy is its such a basic concept. Privacy is like breathing. You take it for granted until you need air and youre deprived of it. If you look at states that morphed from free and democratic societies to totalitarian states, the first thread to arrival is privacy. The academics study this, point it out again and again that without privacy, you dont have freedom. Why. The state has dont go to the extreme opposite. Why do people morph into it. The presumption there is that
Collecting that information and only permitted to use that information for a very narrow purpose. Theyre not intended to use it for secondary purposes unrelated to that primary purpose of collection. Its very narrow. So privacy is about freedom and your ability to largely go about your activities as you wish subject to limited exceptions and subject, of course, to law enforcement. I agree with you. Asking these questions. Let me ask you, the limited purposes, do you feel youre using that information for purposes for which is not intended today, right now, say in the janes department . I dont know it personally. How about security in general. Homeland security, i worked with them. Theres no issue. But i am going to point to the obvious which is to the nsa revelations that have come out. Not just nsa, my country in canada, the csc, that kind of thing. That has revealed the massive scale of information about lawabiding citizens that are being collected. Let me point you and if you want th
Yes, they are as prochoice and so on, but in terms of what the government should be doing and things they are concerned about economically, they still feel more comfortable in the Republican Party and that is what they choose to focus on. I want to ask you one very fundamental question, which is, is there a really any benefit to finding more Common Ground . We have been talking as though there is. And on some level, there seems to be an idea that needs no defense, but would it make it a difference politically to find more Common Ground . I think there are some places where it would. The one area that i think women should Work Together and cross ideological lines is in media sexism. There is no reason there needs to be a divide among women ideologically about how media, particularly Media Coverage of women running for office or in office, there is no reason there needs to be an ideological divide in terms of assessing or evaluating that. There is a group that has formed recently called
Help themselves but brag on social media. And we put a social media component in each one of the gang units, put an attorney on each one of the gang units because we have five district attorneys in new york city, and it enables us to have liaison directly with each one of the district attorneys. We put a uniform component, Uniformed Police officers in each of our precincts that had a problem with crews, and theyre there to disrupt and intercept any acts of violence. Obviously one of the things that were sensitive to is retaliation. So this has worked very well for us. And as was said before, last year, we had a record low year for murders and shootings. This year, were running 25 below that. I think the professor said that something he talked about the 86 reduction in murders. But 23 years ago, we had 1 million fewer People Living in the city. We had 2,245 murders in the 7. 3 million population. Now we have 8. 4 Million People, and were running at a rate now that will bring us in at ab
Point. It can be on youtube. Omeone has to be interested in it. Ive watched youtube. Thats not true. You dont like cats. Correct. Okay. Issue thats the going be crystallized in public pace isnt privacy in that world. Its dignity and autonomy. Regulating the way in which power is used rather than removing the power. And thats going to involve obviously. Issue s not a technology so much as a human relations and issue. Al you got to be comfortable with it. Disagree. T its both. Human relations and technology. If i can just respond i work police chief all the time in toronto, canada. E has a slide he uses with the Police Officers saying that we have to take a positive sum approach to policing and privacy do both. Of course there are cameras. There are ways to do it. Of course, theyre everywhere. By the its done you can do state, the use. What about when its not. Everybody is talking about google glass . The big issue is it can do all these things. Camera where the person being recorded has
