At Tuesday's City Council meeting, Councilman Bob Fieseler raised the idea of installing surveillance cameras on Chicago Avenue in downtown Naperville.
The idea was spurred by recent incidents downtown, including one where an NCC student was Tasered, with conflicting accounts as to whether it was justified. Fieseler said the cameras could save the city time and money by allowing them to determine definitively what happened instead of conducting investigations.
Police Chief Dial supports the measure and says he thinks Naperville will need more cameras in the future.
Of course, cameras can be abused as well, and any suggestion of installing cameras always brings up the specter of Big Brother.
Do you think these cameras are a good idea, or would they be an intrusion into privacy?
