Houston mandates spying outside bars and other businesses.
Officials in Houston, Texas, have voted to require an array of businesses-including bars, convenience stores, and strip clubs-to install surveillance cameras and make footage from them readily available to police.
The rules apply to all Houston bars, convenience stores, game rooms, nightclubs, or sexually-oriented businesses.
Owners of these establishments must install surveillance cameras in outdoor areas "Providing video coverage from the exterior of the building to the property line." Businesses must keep these cameras running 24 hours a day, and store camera footage for at least 30 days.
If surveillance footage is requested by the Houston Police Department, businesses must turn it over within 72 hours.
"This ordinance unfairly saddles certain businesses with thousands of dollars in new expenses to install high-definition surveillance cameras and to archive their footage so it's available for police on demand."
"If you commit a crime, you can rest assured that we will be right on your trail," said Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner at a press conference about the new law.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
