#9 Michael “Big Brother” Bloomberg calls for a “camera on every street corner.”
Bloomberg chastised anyone in Albany that might stand in his way of putting up ACS (Affiliated Computer Services), which is Xerox owned, scam cams all over New York City.
He needs state legislature to back him, which is why Bloomberg had such strong words directed at Albany.
So far Bloomberg hasn’t had his way, but this is another story that has legs to bring it in to 2012.
When you declare war on motorists’ rights in your city, you’d better be ready to reap the whirlwind. Michael Bloomberg’s ridiculous statements about wanting “a camera on every street corner” are not earning him any praise in the news media.
If he continues to push this agenda, don’t be surprised to see the New York based parent company of his city’s red light camera provider, Xerox, face a major boycott of their products and services.
Last year, Xerox acquired Affiliated Computer Services, or ACS, for $6.4 Billion. ACS is the sole provider of red light cameras in New York City.
Here’s the latest example of the backlash against Bloomberg:

In keeping with that very modern desire to find complex solutions to problems that don’t exist, New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg expressed his desire on Monday to put cameras on “every corner of the city” to enforce observance of red lights and, eventually perhaps, speed limits.
And so, in the same year that the Los Angeles City Council considered the evidence from its trial run and unanimously voted to do away with L.A.’s camera system, explaining bluntly that the “program did not work as anticipated,” Mayor Bloomberg is blithely seeking to expand New York’s camera network.
For someone who says he’s never taken a picture of himself, he sure likes to snap pictures of other people, by the millions.
