Terror spycams and Civil Liberties

Terror spycams across state
Thousands of extra private security cameras across Sydney and NSW will be made available to police to throw a security blanket over the entire state.

But New South Wales Council of Civil Liberties president Cameron Murphy says police already have sufficient access to security camera footage. "They should have access to it and the courts provide a mechanism for that now," Mr Murphy said. "It's another thing entirely to provide police with unfettered access so they simply ask and they're not required to provide a reason and you have to provide it. "That's the sort of policy that will lead to misuse and abuse of that power."

[Maybe catch more criminals. That would be misuse and abuse of that power?]
