Sunday Aug. 7th: Help Turn the Cameras Around
Concerned about the recent Homeland Security funded, police (state) cameras sprouting on Baltimore street corners? Then join us for an afternoon of citizen oversight and participatory journalism...
We'll be meeting at Red Emma's (800 St. Paul St.) at 2PM on Sunday, August 7th. We're planning to document the "discrete" cameras in midtown/the inner harbor as well as the "flagrant" cameras in some lower-income neighborhoods. Bring cameras, camcorders, and preferably a bike....we'd like to start a map of the camera network, take some pictures, and interview local residents to see how they like their new life in the electronic panopticon...
