Camera

VICTORIA – The Victoria Police Department is using three closed circuit cameras to keep a watchful eye over Canada Day festivities in the Inner Harbour.
In the past, Police have arrested numerous people for assaults, underage drinking, and fighting.

The Privacy Commissioner has been notified and Police say they will comply with all privacy laws.

The cameras will be monitored by Police from 7 pm to 1 am on July 1st, and removed after Canada Day.

The footage taken will be kept for 60 days, and up to a year if it’s needed in an investigation.

Some people are concerned with the cameras, saying they’re an invasion of privacy. Others are fine with the cameras, and say they are there to keep people safe and secure.

Photographers Rights And The Law In The UK – A brief guide for street photographers.

Know your rights when you’re out with your camera.

Despite the law being clear on a citizen’s rights to freely take pictures in public places (with a few restrictions) there is growing evidence of the police, police community support officers (PCSOs), security guards and general jobsworths failing to respect the rights of photographers going about their lawful business.

UPDATE:
In the UK, a new “Counter Terrorism Act” came into force on 16th February 2009. It contains an amendment to Section 58 of the Terrorism Act 2000. This amendment will make it an offence, punishable by up to ten years imprisonment, to publish or elicit information about any police constable “of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism”.

Furthermore, Schedule 7 of the Bill applies this amendment to internet service providers and web hosting services. This means they will have a legal duty to remove all sites perceived to fall under this offence, and has provisions for use at home and abroad.

It is unclear what information will be classed as useful to terrorists, but due to this ambiguous wording, the Bill has implications for bloggers, journalists, photographers, activists and anyone who values freedom of speech.

We must show that we won’t be intimidated, or called terrorists for resisting or monitoring repressive policing.

Fitwatch are one of the groups who could be targeted by this new legislation. Fitwatch, started two years ago by activists, resists and opposes the use of Forward Intelligence Teams (FIT) on demonstrations. FIT are police officers who photograph, follow, and generally intimidate protesters. They bring, in the words of Jacqui Smith, harassment style policing to protests.

As part of this opposition, Fitwatch run a blog http://www.fitwatch.blogspot.com/ where they share information about these officers. We feel this blog could be under threat from this new legislation.

Whilst Fitwatch may not like officers who act outside of the law, they are certainly not terrorists.

Neither are:

* people filming, and uploading to Youtube, footage of police officers acting illegally.

* bloggers writing about being randomly stopped and searched.

* journalists publishing details of corrupt or racist cops.

* photographers publishing photographs of police on protests.

The list goes on, but all are under threat.

This legislation not only attempts to stifle our ability to hold the police force to account for their actions, but also attacks the principles of open publishing on the internet. It must be resisted.

Please join the mass action and oppose this ludicrous law.

Government surveillance seems to be on the rise everywhere and it’s no different where I live in Sacramento, California, which is why I’ve been trying to fight increased surveillance with little success as I show in this video.

The short clip I use in this video from the predictably positive Fox News story about the heavy government surveillance in Bill Gates’ hometown of Medina, Washington, comes from the Fox News program “Happening Now” broadcast on September 24, 2009, currently available on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtCCpe0I7Ds

The two clips I use from my local CBS news affiliate’s coverage of the news conference from Jim Updegraff, Chair of my local chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), come from the CBS13 story broadcast on September 28, 2009, available online at http://www.cbs13.com/video/?id=60948@kovr.dayport.com

The multiple clips I use of the September 29, 2009, meeting of the Sacramento City Council, including clips of Deputy Chief Sam Somers, the Rev. Ashiya Odeye, Cres Vellucci, me (Allen Asch), and Council Member Steve Cohn, come from Metro Cable and Metro Cable’s video of that entire meeting is available online at http://sacramento.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=8&clip_id=2100

I also use an image of webpage that includes several studies and reports showing surveillance cameras don’t reduce crime that is available online at http://www.youarebeingwatched.us/tools/4/#113

The “You Are Being Watched” logo I also use comes from the main page of that website at http://www.youarebeingwatched.us

And, finally, as always, you can find DOZENS and DOZENS more examples of Fox News bias on my Fox News bias playlist on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A3BD2524FE99BD4D
