Keep the Cameras Off Our Streets

People of Hollister, California thank you for reading this and taking the time to actually get an idea of what is going on. I do not wish to start violence or anger anyone, however, i will not be silenced in this time of need. Cameras have been placed all over the country, checkpoints violation our rights to freedom to move between states unharassed (in the constitution by the way). Hollister is now choosing to further encroach on our freedoms by placing cameras in the dowtown area by July 4th 2014. This is an outrage and although it may not seem like a big deal, it is only the beginning of many violations to come. Let us stop it hear before the snowball effect happens and it is too late! Stop filming us 24/7 cameras do not stop crime, people do! Please understand this only makes us less powerful as people and understand that cameras DO NOT AFFECT CRIME. Everyone sign this petition and express your feelings and concerns because those who care will listen and those who don't can get out of office to make room for those who do!

Thank you to those who listened when there was a voice to be heard no matter how small,
We The People

Why is this important?

I have a legitimate concern seeing the things going on around the nation, and these things are quickly materializing in our own backyard. Cameras in our streets and highways, drones in our skies, unnecessary police bullying/violence. What is this coming to and how far will it go before we take action?
