Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the province is considering the use of security cameras to help address the rise in home invasions and auto theft in the province.
Ford floated the idea for increased surveillance at an unrelated press conference in Hamilton this week, days after he announced his government is preparing to introduce legislation to ban traffic speed cameras. He has previously referred to traffic cameras as a municipal “cash grab” and during the Sept. 29 press conference said he’d rather cameras be used for crime prevention.
