Columbia SquareOffs

The data is being stored too long and being used inappropriately. Building private databases of our travel patterns, facial recognition, speech recognition, and even the way we walk to identify us is wrong. Big Brother is watching you.

Those who would give up essential liberty for temporary security deserve neither. I believe we should gather the petitions necessary force a vote on a city charter amendment banning surveillance cameras.

It's a violation of our privacy and it's not being used for good. It's being used for surveillance. Also, the company is shady as well and the CEO is another term for "not a good guy," if you catch my meaning.

Look at a map of the Flock's national coverage. They are developing an electronic prison system. Not bad for criminal control, but not a good thing for honest citizens, especislly if our government's politicians becomes dishonest, like that has never happened

I am a life long black Columbian who has seen the good and also the ugly about Columbia over the years. Decent people no matter the color of your skin are afraid to go downtown or the business loop because of crime,aggressive vagrants and dope addicts. Mr Choi at least seems to care.

Liberalism in action.

Because its out of control downtown.

So called city leaders can pretend there is no problem but the facts speak for themselves. There is a public safety issue downtown and it is being caused by a very small segment of the population who the liberal leaders like to pander to.

I think city leaders are trying but not hard enough. I think that % of crime may be going down. But regardless crime is unacceptable in is present state. Our city now has the money to do something serious to stop crime. But it cannot be same old same old and it must include the court system.

Mr. Choi has greater skills than Columbia's government when it comes to solving problems.
