Mall Cameras

  • December 3, 2007Charlottesville Chief of Police Timothy Longo presented a plan to the council for approval to install closed circuit TV cameras on and around the Downtown Mall. Longo’s original proposal to install 30 high-resolution cameras with the ability to zoom, pan and tilt on and around the Mall would cost roughly $300,000. Councilors voted 4-1 to let Longo request bids for a camera system that, unlike the original, would not feed into a centralized system.[1]

Councilors apparently were more comfortable with the decentralized system that Lynch suggested, though Brown voted against the plan.

"I’m just personally uneasy with public surveillance," he says. "It’s not something that makes me feel comfortable moving forward with. I don’t want to see the United States become sort of a Britain, where there are cameras everywhere. Because I don’t see any clear benefit, I don’t really want to move forward with it."[2]
