    Peer Surveillance of Pot Smokers at Farrand Field

    Posted on Saturday, April 29th, 2006 at 9:15 am

    University of Colorado police have posted online pictures of 150 people smoking pot on the “420″ day celebration and are offering a $50 reward for anyone who can identify them. An interesting plea for peer-based surveillance and identification.

    It isn’t hard to imagine this surveillance extending into other parts of the web, such as monitoring LiveJournal or MySpace accounts of people in attendance. Clearly, the personal information users are encouraged to voluntarily post on such sites are of benefit to more than just marketers.
