[ex-Liberal in Hollywood] Bad Cops: not because soap operas excite me, but because Sky-Fox didn’t broadcast any car chases that night.

In The Hat: As reported in the LAT, Ramona Ripston, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, was okay with the cameras in MacArthur Park, but called the cameras on Hollywood streets, "creeping, Big Brotherism."

On the public streets, however, she said, "the Police Department shouldn't be able to monitor everybody's comings and goings."
