Cambridge, Mass. Moves To Nix Security Cameras

Posted by timothy on from the buncha-lefties dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Citing privacy concerns, the Cambridge, Mass. City Council has voted 9-0 to remove security cameras scattered throughout the city. 'Because of the slow erosion of our civil liberties since 9/11, it is important to raise questions regarding these cameras,' said Marjorie Decker, a Cambridge city councilor. Rather than citing privacy, WCBVTV is running the story under the headline 'City's Move To Nix Security Cams May Cost Thousands.'"

  1. Call sign... by Thelasko · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    In the United States, call signs are three letters plus a prefix letter denoting east(W) or west(K) of the Mississippi river. The type of broadcast on that frequency is denoted after a dash. Therefore the station you are referencing is called WCBV-TV not WCBVTV
