New Surveillance Trailers Features

The New Surveillance Trailers were bought for nearly $82,000 covered by a criminal justice grant under a program called “Neighborhood Safety Trailer Cameras”.

News 5 Cleveland‘s report says that the new surveillance trailers are composed of two cameras each with a noticeable “Canton Police Safety Camera” mark and a license plate reader.

New Surveillance Trailers Posed “Privacy Concerns”

Despite approval from the city’s jurisdiction, the ACLU of Ohio stated that the new surveillance trailers might be breaching privacy law especially since it still no nationwide implementation measures on how the new surveillance trailers will be used. How the data will be kept, and for what purpose or who will have access to it?

However, Gabbard cleared out that all the records will be mere videos and no audio will be captured. It was said that the new surveillance trailers will only be pointed to public areas and not into somebody’s house or private areas. He said that he is open to any input from the community as the new surveillance trailers are just so new. He also added that the new surveillance trailers’ efficiency to deter crimes will be dependent on how the trailers be endorsed.
