Press release: “The New York Civil Liberties Union today called on the City of New York to ensure that any new surveillance plan for New York City is subject to public input and external oversight mechanisms and includes significant privacy protections to prevent abuse. The NYCLU’s call came in response to today’s disclosure that the NYPD will be implementing a multi-million dollar web of cameras and roadblocks that will be modeled on London’s “Ring of Steel” system and will track the movements of the thousands of cars and people who enter Lower Manhattan every day.”
