Do you agree with the Columbia City Council's rejection of the Fusus video system?
Yes
No
These businesses that agree could still turn their video over to police so what's the big deal.

The big deal is now the police have to go to the business, ask if they have a camera, ask if the video captured any evidence, and ask to get a copy of the video instead of just watching the video from the comfort of their office saving lots of valuable staff time that they don't have much of.
I agree, but the government putting in their own cameras stinks of a Police State. The government could then pick and choose who they want to prosecute. Currently they prosecute, sentence, and then parole, all in one operation. That doesn't curb crime either.
Policy doesn't define crime, that's the job of legislature. Businesses set up what level of agreeance they have to law enforcement accessing cameras through FUSUS. Trust comes from the community side as well; stop believing the "police are bogeyman all the time" fairytale.

No because if they accepted the Fusus video system, businesses that aren't for it could choose to opt out of the program.
