Town of Vaughan "CCTV" - a bit more

Post by Admin »

Subject says all. 30 hours later, media stories have started to pop up (CBC, CityTV and lesser players like Yahoo News Canada, Facebook and even TikTok) - CP24 did eventually post their item to Youtube. CTV's version is a rehash of CP24 with no additional text.

At about the 2:35 mark in the CP24 clip they touch on a contradiction - "speed" cameras are no good, but "CCTV" (whatever that means) is okay? Speed cameras are perceived to be a tax grab???

See also the Global News version of the item: https://globalnews.ca/news/11447240/ontario-mayor-speed-cameras-ford... in that one John Tory says "it's not about the money, it's about waking people up to change their behaviour".

Again - technical specifications, optics, the use of A.I. tools and shared access, data retention timelines are important sidebar issues and they are almost never discussed.
