A Happy Day For Bloggers

May 1, 2008 at 3:52 pm

From today’s White House press briefing with Tony Fratto:

Q Tony, various cities are networking their government-owned surveillance cameras — New York, Chicago and now D.C. Is there any federal effort to sort of combine all that information?

MR. FRATTO: Not that I’m aware of, not in terms of video surveillance. I know lots of municipalities do it for different reasons, some just for speeding tickets. And having been the victim myself of those cameras, on, like, two occasions now, I’m well aware of how effective they are. But I’m not aware of any federal coordinating role on those.

Q You know you just made the bloggers happy. (Laughter.)

MR. FRATTO: I’m sure I did.
