"There's widespread concern that video cameras will use facial recognition software to track our
every public move. Far less remarked upon — but every bit as alarming —
is the exponential expansion of 'smart' video surveillance networks."

Toronto streets get more surveillance cameras for G20
Police began installing 77 more closed circuit security cameras around downtown Toronto Friday in preparation for the upcoming G20 summit.
They will remain up and in use until “the completion of the event, when there’s no longer an issue of security,” said Toronto police Const. Wendy Drummond.
The cameras are “similar to other ones we’ve deployed in the past,” Drummond said. “They’re going to be very recognizable. They will be clearly marked with ‘police’ on them.”
Drummond said the installations will occur over the next few weeks, with the first cameras going up Friday along Adelaide St. The exact locations will be disclosed to the public once they are installed, Drummond said.
