I’m not sure whether I really like MAC Cosmetics Hurtt Prize idea, or whether I think it’s totally appalling and the guy behind it should get thrown in jail just for the principal of it…
The chief of police in Houston has shown himself to be a total idiot, pushing forward a program to have constant video surveillance all around the city. That’s not the totally idiotic part (though it’s bad enough). The totally idiotic part was that, in response to privacy concerns, the idiot has the audacity to wonder why would people who didn’t do anything wrong need to worry…
Privacy, for anyone who isn’t capable of realizing it on their own, is important. No, really. Giving benefit cosmetics government, police officials, your fellow neighbourhood people, or anyone else, the ability to spy on you and your actions freely, is a bad idea.
It will be misused, even if nobody plans to misuse it from the get-go. And it doesn’t help safety and security. It just helps the illusion of safety.
While adding the very non-illusionary feeling of being constantly monitored and under watch.
Bad, bad, bad idea.
Unless you’re, like chief of police Hurtt (Who to his credit isn’t the first, not mac eyeliner pencil most important, of the many people around the world supporting such extensive surveillance), expecting to be the one having the power to use this, and not expecting to be the target.
So this Hurtt Prize idea is quite an apt response.
Somebody is setting up a monetary prize to be given to anyone presenting videotaped proof that chief of police Hurtt performed any sort of crime. This, obviously, with the implicit but MAC Cosmetics Outlet obvious idea that people will have to go around him all the time with cameras, watching and monitoring his every move.
Anyone doing that to me would find themselves sued very quickly for stalking. And I won’t take lightly mac foundation total ignorance of my privacy and right to personal life.
Chief of police Hurtt, however, doesn’t have any reason to complain. Obviously. Because, after all, if he isn’t doing anything wrong, what does he have to worry about?
If he would do something wrong, then that would put him in a bit of a problem, yes. It’s all the more likelier to get noticed and published. But he doesn’t need to worry best mac mascara complain now, because he doesn’t actually plan on doing anything wrong, does he?
I wonder how this would develop…
