Cameras record your every step on a corner in Manhattan\u2019s Financial District.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg doesn\u2019t think your concerns about privacy in a world of city- and drone-mounted surveillance cameras are important. His advice to radio audiences Friday morning? \u201cGet used to it!\u201d<\/p>\n

Bloomberg\u2019s tough-guy, fatalistic attitude is well and fine for a man with $27 billion. He can buy all the privacy he wants. But you can\u2019t. And he doesn\u2019t care.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou wait, in five years, the technology is getting better, ther\u2019ll be cameras everyplace … whether you like it or not,\u201d Bloomberg said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe argument against using automation is just this craziness that \u2018Oh, it\u2019s Big Brother,\u2019\u00a0\u201d he continued. \u201cGet used to it!\u201d<\/p>\n

NY Daily News:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The New York Civil Liberties Union has documented nearly 2,400 surveillance cameras fixed on public spaces in Manhattan alone. Many are operated by the police, others by poroperty owners.<\/p>\n

In Lower Manhattan, an initiative developed after 9\/11 known as the \u201cRing of Steel\u201d integrates the NYPD\u2019s cameras with those of banks and other institutions.<\/p>\n

But in the future, the cameras won\u2019t just be planted on buildings and utility poles. Some of them will be able to fly, the mayor pointed out.<\/p>\n
