North Dakota Town Wants Bar Patrons Taped

Hmmm....

BISMARCK, N.D. - Authorities in a small North Dakota coal mining town want bar owners to install surveillance systems after a rash of brawls that some people liken to those seen in John Wayne’s Western movies.

Bar owners say the cameras would infringe on their patrons’ rights.

Oliver County State’s Attorney Mike Liffrig said he made the request to officials in the town of Center after one man suffered severe facial injuries in an early January assault in the community of fewer than 700, about 40 miles northwest of Bismarck.

I would oppose such a measure as a matter of privacy for the patrons.  What do you think?
