I found this on one of the sports websites, it's live camera video in front of Wrigley field in Chicago. Most of these people wandering around are completely unaware that they are being watched by people all over the world 24 hours a day. A couple of days ago I saw two guys shoving each other and thought for sure gunfire was going to erupt. If I can locate one of these cameras in my city I'll be sure to wave to the rest of the world.

Interesting, though unsettling. I wonder what the exact purpose of this camera is? It's getting to be where you can't go anywhere anonymously anymore.

I thought the same thing when I first saw it.
Makes you feel like a bug under a microscope.

Big Brother is watching you! Ever since the terrorist attacks we are slowly losing our privacy and anonymity. It doesn't surprise me that these cameras are everywhere. Especially outside large stadiums/arenas. I have been told that in London, England there are cameras on all of the street corners.Don't know if that's true.

Years back,my brother sent me a satellite image of my house and I could see my dog in the backyard and I started feeling sad because he had died about a year earlier.Poor little dog didn't know he was being spied on.

On Google Earth I looked up my address and in close-up are my husband and me sitting on the front porch! The picture is a couple of years old though. There's a car in the driveway which we don't have anymore.

I like checking those Google maps too.
I was trying to find a house I lived in when I was in California and there was some guy standing on his porch staring out at the Google vehicle that was taking pictures and he had a look on his face like " What the hell are you looking at? "
