While sitting in the borough meeting the other night I noted that the fire departments are getting laptops with software that will give them a heck of alot of information about the structure they are saving, including pictures, floor plans, and I don't remember it all because I was stunned.
It's all part of the overall loss of privacy and liberty in exchange for safety or risk abatement.
How will they glean this information and just how much detail is there?
I am frightfully aware of the data silos compiled by the big title insurance companies who in their vendor management of appraisals, credit reports and title operations glean and compile excruciating detail and store it for sale to government and private marketing enterprise. Lots of this data is compiled off shore in facilities located in India and elsewhere. I've questioned where our rights to privacy start and stop when companies move the data off shore.
It all seems so innocent but shouldn't we have a choice? Borough council chatted about requiring floor plans or drawings anytime someone wants a building permit. The purpose of the requirement would be to add this data to their files for the fire department.
Shouldn't we have a choice?
Hey, folks who support abortion rights do so under the supposed federal right of privacy. If a young girl can choose to have an abortion and not tell her parents because she has a right to privacy, shouldn't we have a right to not give our floor plans to government?
I don't know but it seems to me that there's a whole lot of stuff being forced down our throats in the name of safety and I don't like it.
I don't like it one bit.
