In Australian Town, Public CCTV Off Over Privacy Concerns

Posted by timothy on from the sanity-but-in-such-small-portions dept.

freddienumber13 writes "The CCTV cameras operated by the local government in the country town of Nowra, NSW (Australia) have been turned off following an order by the Administrative Decisions Tribunal. The local government is crying because it believes that it is losing an effective method in combating crime in public. Locals however are rejoicing that they are no longer being recorded whilst walking down the street."
