Bennett Springs Live Cam

[rugulo]

I guess I routinely mingle with a different caliber of people, because everyone that I have heard speak about the video surveillance within the state park at Bennett, Taneycomo, and the other "trout parks", has been disgusted and totally against it.

They may or may not notice it on their books at the end of this year, but I know for a fact that quite a few people will forget that the trout parks even exist because of this.

The minor turn offs have always been the crowds, and fish that were "too easy", so fishing in the park has never been what you could call "real fishing". Now when you add in that your every move is being watched and recorded, you have the straw that breaks the camels back, for a few at least.

Those of you that like that sort of thing may enjoy some extra space from now on.

Don't fish under the bridge and nobody will see you...whats the problem?

rugulo, I think you missed the train The streaming webcam at the dam is just the only one being linked to the internet.

Why not link up the rest of the cams along the stream, and at the parking areas, campground, outhouses, and swimming pool, so the rest of the world can watch all that activity as well.

I got a sick case of impetigo from that swimming pool once. Laid me up the entire summer.

Yikes, that sucks. But hey, if it ever happens again there will be video evidence....so you can file suit!

True.

And I could do all my whale watching from my computer desk, too

You list alot of cams in the park that I apparently didn't get the memo on. In order for me to get on the train, I would consider it a favor if you would support your claims of all these cams with some proof. That way we can all get on your train.

Well, first off it's not MY train, and they are not MY claims, originally. I haven't seen them, but I also haven't been down there in awhile. The reply of every official that has been asked about it, thus far, is that they will neither confirm nor deny,...usually followed by "why do you want to know" ?

And as far as proof, whaddaya want, someone to go down there, locate cams and take pictures and GPS coodinates of them ? LOL Maybe someone will, but it won't be me.

Thanks for the reply.

If anyone would want to PM me the approximate locations of these other "alleged" cameras, I'd be glad to go down and investigate... Just cause I'm curious now, mainly.. I'm an admitted paranoid conspiracy theorist, but I do base my theory around facts whenever possible..

I bet the Ruskies have had satellites trained on Bennett for years...
