Bloomberg: Interpretation of Constitution Must Change to Increase Security

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said at a press conference on Monday that the interpretation of the Constitution should change to allow for increased security in the wake of the Boston bombings.

"We live in a complex world where you're going to have to have a level of security greater than you did back in the olden days. Our laws and our interpretation of the Constitution, I think, have to change," said Bloomberg, The New York Observer reported.

Bloomberg emphasized the need for increased security cameras throughout the city. "The people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry," he said, but, "we have to understand that in the world going forward, we're going to have more cameras and that kind of stuff. That's good in some sense, but it's different from what we are used to."

"It really says something bad about us that we have to do it. But our obligation first and foremost [is] to keep you safe if you go to a sporting event [and] to keep you safe if you walk down the streets or go into our parks," he said. "We cannot let the terrorists put us in a situation where we can't do those things. And the way to do that is to provide what we think is an appropriate level of protection."
