Honestly it's time for a revolution when your so~called elected leaders won't tell you, show you, or otherwise even explain logically what technology like this is being installed for. Only an idiot would conclude they are for something good: Perhaps soothing music, or will this be the new sound of silence?
Of course these are New Yorker's whom have forgotten their own past. I believe we actually owe the Bills of Rights to the original settlers of that State. If I remember right it was New York which repeatedly voted down the adoption of the Federal Constitution because it has no prohibitions on governmental powers. It was only after the Bills of Rights were tacked on that the new constitution was officially adopted and thus doing away with the Articles of Confederation.
