And they need a return on their investment in the form of revenue from fines. I know some of you will say that, if you don't litter or let your dog poop on the sidewalk, you have nothing to fear. But do you really want to live under a microscope?; Like this Reply to this comment

Frankly, I'd rather clean my shoes of dog poop, than have government spying on my every move. Frankly, big brother may become far worse than Orwell ever imagined.; Like this Reply to this comment

CCTV video surveillance is subject to the laws concerning a person?s right to privacy.
You have the right to protect your home. But, you want to remain on the right side of the law.
So, when installing a CCTV system in your home, it is essential that you are sure of the legality of your surveillance.
Consult with a lawyer or your local law enforcement to ensure that you are meeting all the requirements of local, state,
and federal CCTV laws.
