NYPD to Launch "Domain Awareness System"
29 July 12
he New York Police Department will soon launch an all-seeing "Domain Awareness System" that combines several streams of information to track both criminals and potential terrorists.
New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly says the city developed the software with Microsoft.
Kelly says the program combines city-wide video surveillance with law enforcement databases.
He says it will be officially unveiled by New York's mayor as soon as next week.
Kelly spoke Saturday before an audience at the Aspen Security Forum.
The NYPD has been under fire for surveillance of Muslim communities and partnering with the CIA to track potential terror suspects. Muslim groups have sued to shut down the NYPD programs.
Kelly defended the policies as key to thwarting 14 terror plots against the city since the attacks of Sept. 11th.

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.
General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.
Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

Devised in conjunction with Microsoft, a sure sign of too much code and the security of a seive.
I've paid my last visit to NYC, a used to be liberal city that has succumbed to skirt flying sissy minded fears led by a bazillionaire whose own paranoia exceeds all the cast of One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest.
What is the world wide bastion of high culture, liberal thinking and fair mindedness freakin' doin'??
They're watching the wrong people. These cameras should be on Wall Street and K Street.
