Institute for Justice urging Richmond Heights to repeal new surveillance camera ordinance

“The constitution requires the warrant so we don’t have to depend on their good faith. We can have a judge taking a look at the evidence and deciding whether there is a good reason to invade someone’s privacy and collect their surveillance footage,” says Jared McClain, an attorney for the Institute of Justice.

“Most of these businesses already have security cameras and so by creating these requirements, they have specific types of cameras and they have to police approved cameras and they have to be in police approved location you are imposing all of these extra costs on businesses that already have the cameras they think they need,” says McClain.

“They want to expand the surveillance state, but they don’t want to spend any money doing it and so what they do is require local businesses to install these cameras,” says McClain.
