Today on the Lines Between Us: CEO pay. It's grown manyfold in the last few decades.

Some see Baltimore’s ‘blue light’ crime cameras as a marker, lighting up the lines around high-crime neighborhoods. For residents living among them, the cameras can be either a welcome crime deterrent--or an affront to their privacy and integrity.

On the Lines Between Us, we'll hear from the director of the Baltimore Police CitiWatch program, a city councilman who wants more cameras for his district, and artists who have addressed life among the cameras—and the police presence that attends them.
