Bloomberg: 'Get used to it'

By New York Post March 26, 2013 6:40 am

The eye in the sky will soon be following your every move, says Mayor Bloomberg.

"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."

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.
