D.C. surveillance cameras worry critics UPI WASHINGTON, June 16 (UPI) -- Civil libertarians and political opponents say Washington's nearly 4,800 city-owned surveillance cameras are an unwarranted intrusion of privacy. The nerve center of the District of Columbia's video surveillance program opened last month and Washington Mayor Adrian Fenty says he's trying to set up comprehensive security protection against terrorism but others are worried about the system's lack of political transparency, the Los Angeles Times reported Monday.

They include Councilman Phil Mendelson, who told the newspaper, "The program was announced without any detail or planning around who would have access, for what purpose, and what would happen with any video or digital archive."
