Students Protest Iowa Town's New Public Surveillance Cameras
About 20 University of Northern Iowa students protested after Cedar Falls, Iowa, installed three cameras on College Hill before Homecoming to monitor crowds. The cameras are always on, and are accessed over the Internet by police through personal computers anywhere. The cameras can pan left and right and zoom in close enough to identify faces or license plates. This spring the city will install similar cameras downtown.
Protesters feel cameras invade privacy, WCF Courier, April 8, 2005.
