Unfounded un substantiated comment perhaps, why post a post with no foundation or reason

Because saying it and not explaining your reason or reasons for making that statement make no sense - so state why you think it is so and then we can continue the discussion. Otherwise, it's a mute point.

Sounds like the guilty conscience of someone who was caught on camera doing something he shouldn't have been doing!! OOPS!! Caught "red-handed" !!!!

My statement is based on what I have seen on the nightly news, showing lawbreakers caught in the act. Bearing in mind that this footage is edited by people who are often called "the left-wing Liberal news media". Overwhelming majority of the footage shows Black people committing crimes. Seems like if they had footage of 'other-than-blacks' committing crimes, that these would be the images they would choose to run.

Sounds like this is placed in the wrong forum on UHH. There is a place for Hoggers to discuss "non photography" items. Aside from that, how can any manufactured object have any human characteristic? I never realized my Nikon had a political affiliation. Now I'm wondering if I can continue to associate with it. ;-)

Just another biased rant! If the people on the videos weren't doing the "crime" they wouldn't be on the cameras!!

That's got to be the most ridiculous reason for suggesting that security cameras are racist that I could imagine. You apparently can't separate the use of these cameras and how the output is occasionally portrayed on the nightly news. While in some circumstances security cameras might be an intrusion of our privacy rights, its certainly not racist. And by the way, the security cameras at the Boston Marathon were a major component allowing law enforcement to identify the terrorists. Of course you might say that they were racist in that situation as well since the terrorists were Muslim. The cameras capture what happens, without regard for race, religion or national origin. Period.
