Point is...

Maybe has a cute new name and a reporter blew it into a great sensational story...but observation (which is ALL that this is) is an important part of surveillance and detection. It would be WONDERFUL if we lived in a world where there were no bad people needing to be detected. We don't. There will ALWAYS be abuses. The ex-military WV cops were jerks...and our one favorite did absolutely have a bug up his butt... but really, how are you supposed to detect bad things if you aren't allowed to look for them?
