If you're going to San Diego Comic-Con, you'll want to pull on your Batman mask or slather on the Sith paint if you're passing any of the marked locations on this new map. You could very well be under surveillance as part of the San Diego Police Department's "Operation Secure San Diego."

Operation Secure San Diego--ostensibly intended so first responders could get a view of a crime as it's happening--encourages private businesses to allow the cops to access their surveillance video cameras. It also gives officers sitting in their squad cars the power to tap directly into live feeds. The first to share its streams was Hotel Indigo, a hotel popular with the Comic-Con set in San Diego's Gaslamp district.

Whether you're a resident or tourist, Operation Secure San Diego should make you a little nervous.
