As a result of the Brown University shooting, it appears the need for quality security cameras has never been greater. Public cameras are vital tools for law enforcement, especially in tackling crime. When it comes to public surveillance though, everyone has a different opinion on the matter and some, such as residents and city officials in Cambridge, are against traffic cameras citing privacy concerns. Where do you come down on the matter of public surveillance and security cameras? Are you for or against them? Do you find them a vital public safety tool in some cases?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dan took a call from Cambridge City Council member Patty Nolan on the topic of the use of cameras in public spaces.
