Suburban New York village deploys big-city surveillance tactics

Police on New York's Long Island have seen a lot of success after deploying license-plate readers throughout one town. Maybe too much success. Cameras in Freeport, a village of 50,000, have tracked 17 million plates, and the police chief is asking for state and federal help to handle the workload. Anna Werner has more.

The government has been head over heels feeding law enforcement wishes against civilians rights and everything they asked for; meanwhile no accountability for politicians or law enforcement. I'm glad the ACLU is after them. Data without consent and free for third party making money out of people's personal info is simply appalling.. its lawyer time!

[@joesullivan259]

+Joe Sullivan Yep! That's why I moved out of New York. Too many crazy traffic laws to suck us the people out of our money and way too expensive to live there, too.

[@Gildhattie]
