Police puts up more security cams
The SPVM is installing nine more security cameras, a policing method that was unwelcome when it first came to the Quartier Latin, but which is going almost unmentioned now, even with one being placed at Cabot Square. The force now has 42 eyes on the populace.
Update: Ted Rutland amplifies on my observation: “All of them are pointed at poor people, mostly the racialized poor. There will now be cameras in both Oscar Peterson and Nelson Mandela parks. Vile.”

I think 42 under counts the total number of spvm cameras because there are hundreds of SPVM traffic cams everywhere. These are also “security cameras.”
