I was at the SBUX in X3$127 Town Thursday morning and saw the installing of the camera. Even got some photos.
After I got off work, walking past the camera, amongst all of the NCAA fans (Kids from Belmont were in the downstairs bathroom of Fudruckers painting "BELMONT" on their barren chests), I realized that if anybody assulted a Duke fan, they might be caught on tape -- depending on when the camera would be activated.
I was tempted to jab a Duke fan in the face and see if anything police action happened. Ha.
Every move you make is recorded on tape. Heavy Mental.
I'm pretty sure that camera should be at Seventh and H Street NE, or, at the very least, the interior of the Clyde's at Gallery Place. Both their service and what they do to hamburgers are a crime.
