Daley: Cameras Will Make Us Safer

Mayor Daley on Monday embraced a radical plan to require every licensed Chicago business open more than 12 hours a day to install indoor and outdoor cameras...If the mayor's endorsement translates into City Council approval of the ordinance championed by Ald. Ray Suarez (31st), business leaders will demand tax breaks and a phase-in similar to the sprinkler ordinance that gives older high-rises 12 years to comply, Roper said.

And he predicted the requirement would ultimately translate into fewer hours and lower wages.

Once the cud-chewers have been conditioned to comply, I wonder if private residences will be far behind. After all, it would make us safer.

And that's what the Framers wanted, isn't it?
