A local Hamilton man has been ordered by the city to take down his security cameras that he has on the outside of his house, despite his claim that his footage has been useful in crime investigations.

Dan Myles says he has 10 security cameras outside his home on MacNab Street North in downtown Hamilton, and he says he needs them.

I agree that there is no expectation of privacy in public. This can quickly stampede into people taking pictures or video, in a public park or something that is now illegal to take, simply because of shit like this.

If you're in a publicly accessible space, or where I can see you from a publicity accessible space, there's no reasonable expectation of privacy.

This really isn't any different than him sitting there and watching from his window, it's just recorded.

Fucking Hamilton man.
