"You can't keep the tides from coming in," the mayor remarked when asked about drones on his weekly radio show. There will "be cameras every place . . . Get used to it."

He said surveillance will be commonplace in five years.

"We're going to have more visibility and less privacy," Bloomberg said. "I just don't see how you could stop that."

The NYPD already has cameras mounted at strategic locations around the city. "What's the difference if a drone is up in the air or on a building?" he said

"And you know you're going to have face-recognition software."

Mayor Bloomberg admits soon NYPD surveillance cameras will be on nearly every corner and in the air

'You wait, in five years, the technology is getting better, they'll be cameras everyplace . . . whether you like it or not,' Bloomberg said Friday. 'The argument against using automation is just this craziness that 'Oh, it's Big Brother.' Get used to it!' Big Brother is watching. Now get used to it!

Envisioning a future where privacy is a thing of the past, Mayor Bloomberg said Friday it will soon be impossible to escape the watchful eyes of surveillance cameras and even drones in the city.
He acknowledged privacy concerns, but said "you can't keep the tides from coming in.
