Welcome to HalifaxCams
On November 10, 2006 the Halifax Police Service announced their intention to install police monitored CCTV in the downtown core “as early as this weekend”.
This a watershed event. Before this the only cams were privately owned, outside bars and stores, and while still viewing public space these units were for protection of private property.
The new police cams are instruments of social control. It’s a victory for the cold dead hand of government and of police, and a great loss for the piblic. It’s an erosion of privacy rights. Something is being stolen from us this weekend.
Wake up!
We will soon put out a call for members of the Surveillance Camera Players of Halifax.
Our purpose will be to draw attention to police cameras through geuurilla theatre and creative protest and activities like letter writing, etc.
Stay tuned!
