KINGS POINT, NY (CBSNewYork) – If you visit Kings Point, big brother will be watching.

An affluent community is hoping to prevent crime by going high-tech — by setting up a sophisticated network to screen every vehicle that goes in or out of town.

Kings Point is one of the wealthiest villages on the North Shore, and residents want to keep it that way with the latest security.

“I think it’s great,” one resident told CBS 2’s John Slattery.

To protect its 3.3 square miles, Kings Point plans to install 44 cameras and license plate readers at each of the 19 points of entry. The devices will take pictures of every vehicle and license plate and compare them to data bases.

“It will alert us to suspended registrations, felonies, stolen cars, order of protection, sex offenders, things like that,” Kings Point Police Commissioner Jack Miller said. MORE>>>

 

[TLS]- Mark my words this is a preview of things to come!! You WILL see this type of serious big brother type rollout as things deteriorate. As we go deeper into this black hole depression crime is going to sky rocket and people will be begging for this type of security in their citys. Plate reading cameras will come first in these well to do areas, then in the majority of community's that can't afford the millions thats these systems cost EXPECT militarised PD check points. No joke they are coming in a few years here, they will check everyone coming and going in the area by hand, illegal searches will be law and common place along with explosives swab tests and DNA checks at the officers request to confirm ID, analysing machines are getting cheaper by the day $100 a test from a portable machine. I know you think I've gone to far... but just look it up they are currently considering DNA screening for use in airports.

Read some of the comments on the article, they're quite amusing.  There's so much that's wrong with this.  First, rich a-holes on Long Island may want this but the cameras are at taxpayers expense.  This is not a gated community where the residents are paying for it themselves.  This is so typical of New York providing extra security for the rich or certain ethnic groups.  And of course these rich liberals don't realize they're building an electronic cage around themselves...they're hopeless.
