ACLU Wants Moratorium on Chicago's Network of Cameras
A leading civil rights group wants Chicago to stop expanding its network of thousands of cameras covering the city because of privacy issues, First Amendment concerns and a lack of regulation.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois called for a full review of the cameras -- which number at least 10,000 and are at locations from skyscrapers to utility poles -- saying city officials won't release basic information like the exact number, cost and any incidents of misuse.
