Reading all these comments I feel so sad that so many people didn't understand the importance of the framing in the book and why the ending is crucial for the whole story.

I pity you guys for not understanding the "surrounding" of the book. The context is what made it all genius.

i'm pretty sure the 12000 LED part is a mistranslation. it surely has to be at least 12 million. or did you mean 12k spot led lights? not the same.

"Why are you doing this to me" was probably the best possible answer to that question at that moment.

And what are those liberties exactly that you have and we don't?

Yes they act differently. For example they commit less crime.

The principle being?

The whole point of the system is that those cameras might see the guy masturbating in the shadows while you who is there on the scene does not.

Warrantless wiretaps are illegal as far as I know.

People you elect to legislation decide.

Yeah, that's why those are cameras and not people... cos a person would be creepy and a camera is not.

The second part I agree with, although there will be less chance for human error, and that's always the biggest problem.

In no way did i say the laws were OK. But as long as you know that something is illegal and you don't do it there should be no problem.

Someone should take a photo of a NY Apple store

I never really understood why people who did nothing wrong were "creeped out" by cameras.

(btw only one of those was a highspeed camera)

This is almost as good for Apple as if they got another 1 billion.

the word you all are looking for is Aquaplaning.

more like a really bad ripoff.

My thoughts exactly. So who ripped off who?
