13. NYC Surveillance Cameras
NYC Surveillance Camera Project [.pdf]

i-SEE v.911: "Now more than ever" [Flash]

These two sites focus on the increasing numbers of surveillance cameras
in
New York City. The first provides a .pdf-formatted map of the more than
2,300 camera locations throughout New York as well as text listings
broken
down by community. The information was compiled by volunteers from the
New
York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU). In addition to information on camera
locations, in the news section of the site, users will find links to
related
Websites, FAQs, and sites related to taxi cameras and traffic cameras.
The
second site, from the Institute for Applied Autonomy, contains an
interactive map of New York with which users can map routes through the
city. Users click on their starting point and destination, and i-SEE
will
generate a route for them with the fewest surveillance cameras. Note
that we
had trouble using the map with Netscape on a Mac, but no trouble with
Internet Explorer. Both of these sites are unabashedly anti-surveillance
technology and will be appreciated by New Yorkers concerned with civil
liberties issues. [TK]
