"The office of north country Congressman Bill Owens says it's going to look into those mysterious cameras that have popped up on utility poles throughout St. Lawrence County.

7 News spent much of the day calling agencies and officials to see if they know why the cameras are there and what they're for.

We spoke with the U.S. Border Patrol, which said it knew nothing about the cameras.

Homeland Security didn't return our calls.

Joe Gilbert, the county's new emergency services director, told 7 News that he is aware of the cameras, but declined to say anything further.

He asked us to call him back later, but we've been unable to reach him."

- Wake up people. Because the next place they'll put the cameras, will be in your house.......

1. If nobody is willing to admit ownership, then aren't they abandoned property?

I say, take one, examine it, and wait around to see what agency shows-up to replace it.

6. In these desperate times....

...such an act could be sufficient to result in one's rendition.

- Or worse.

4. How they strike back in England and France against speed cameras.

Rather hilarious and food for thought:

5. your location can be determined by your cell phone, your ATM card, or your car's GPS system

and it is possible to exploit the built-in video cameras on laptops as the government did to these high school students in 2010:

Your cell phone is wide open, all the email, twitter posts, facebook profiles and IMs in the USA is read by bots, stored, indexed and flagged...

why should they bother with crappy cameras in public areas?

[DeSwiss]

9. Not my cellphone!

- It's er.... um.... an antique. With no GPS thingies. (circa 2001)





As for "why they should bother placing a crappy camera in a public area?''

Well, I don't know. In fact, no one does who's talking. Our tax dollars at work (for whom we can't tell you).

15. There are two types of GPS.

One that uses the satellites, one that simply triangulates your phone by signal strength by the cell towers. They can fix your antique cell phone down to a pretty small margin of error, just using the cell towers.

7. it's heartening that people are asking about it

and that news people are reporting on it.

11. Hit it with a bunch of laser pointers. You'll find out who owns it soon enough.

Fat lot of good it will do you during extraordinary rendition, though. You won't have a chance to tell anyone but your torturer

13. where's the green ones

that'll irritate them... although I do like the cheese painted speed camera on one of the links
