#2 So we can kill anyone with vidcams?!?! We might accidentally get a few reporters...

#3 This is an incredibly dangerous precedent - probably evolving from the use of just such videocams to "hunt" by remote control from some stupid bunch of butchers in Nevada or somewhere last year (they set up several remote cameras and a gun that you were supposed to be able to fire via the web to kill game with).

I have no objection to hunting (though I no longer do so myself - too many fools and idiots carrying weapons out in the hills and woods these days for my taste), but doing so without actually going into the great outdoors, doing so solely for the pleasure of the kill, and doing so without packing out and eating what you kill is simply wrong.

Back on point, however, this whole technology sets an incredibly dangerous precedent that can be used and abused by anyone anywhere in the world.

#4 This could be a good thing: since vidcams are relatively cheap, our forces could shoot out the fixed ones and see who comes in to fix the 'bait,' if its a good guy, give him a new one (with a secret feed, just in case, and if its a bad guy, well either give HIM a new one with the secret feed to find out where he is hiding out or just cap him then. mobile ones are going to be a bit harder, but its a start.
