SAN ANTONIO - The public is getting its first chance to view images from cameras installed along the Texas-Mexico border as part of a state program meant to cut down on drug activity and illegal crossings.

Images from eight border surveillance cameras were opened to the public Thursday at the Web site http://www.texasborderwatch.com.

Members of the public who see criminal activity over the Web cameras can e-mail authorities. The messages will go to the state's operations center in Austin and local law enforcement officers in the affected area.

The cameras will operate at 13 hotspots for illegal activity, including at Amistad Reservoir in Del Rio and Falcon Lake in Zapata. Others will be in other border zones, as well as along highways, at rest stops or near inspection stations that are frequented by criminals, officials said.

I'm wondering how they will deal with the volume of e-mails and respond in a timely enough fashion to catch anyone. Perhaps that's what this "test run" is for. I suppose it's a good thing that they're doing one at all.

Thoughts on the proposed plan?

Wow.

What a total fiasco in the making. Wanna see how long it takes me to set up a DDOS bot-net and bring the whole thing crashing to the ground?
 
I like it as a start. I think it has great potential for advertisements and such.

Are you suggesting on this forum that you intend to break the law?

Of course not. I just asked if anyone would like to see how long it takes me to break the law.

Yes, and I did what I've never done in the past and reported your post. Perhaps I'm over reacting.

Remember what I suggested in another post: Legal => Law

Feel free to report me as you wish.

I think your arguments are harmless. I don't actually think you have the wherewithal to initiate such an attack. But I do think such a post, phrased in such a manner, brings disrepute upon this forum.

Lurkers may not know of your lack of actual expertise.
 
What if someone were to replace the feed that were receiving from the border with something from your local adult video store.
Give people something interesting to watch...
It is just a thought
