Here’s a warm fuzzy contest. Be the first to get video of Houston Police Chief Harold Hurtt committing any sort of crime, and a $1120 (and rising) prize is all yours. Why should anyone found such a prize?

Harold Hurtt has suggested that surveillance cameras be placed “in apartment complexes, downtown streets, shopping malls and even private homes”, according to this story in the Seattle Post Intelligencer.

Hurtt is the kind of guy who has the ‘what should law abiding citizens have to worry about in a surveillance state?’ kind of attitude. He apparently didn’t read that part of the bill of rights covering ‘unlawful search and seizure.’ Actually, law enforcement as a whole seems to have conveniently forgotten all about it. I’m glad some people care enough to remind them…

Ch-check it out.
