ACLU starts cable program on governmental spying and surveillance in America Today

CT - Why are video surveillance cameras not equipped with microphones? How was Governor Spitzer caught? Do you unknowingly have a personal radio frequency ID? If so, who can read it?

These and other questions are answered in a talk by Christopher Calabrese, Esq., Program Counsel of ACLU’s Technology and Liberty Program, in the first of a series of television programs presented by the newly formed Fairfield County Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union of Connecticut.

The series of programs will be aired on Cablevision’s channel 77 on Monday evenings at 11 P.M. starting April 6, 2009, and continuing through June 29. Programs in the series will tackle the Patriot Act, surveillance and privacy, the relation between government and religion, and other topics, dealt with from multiple progressive points of view.
