A store manager in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood says police asked him for surveillance video after shootings twice in the last two weeks; he said he wants the city to install more cameras, but was told some leaders don't want to due to privacy concernsThere is now a public call for more police cameras in Boston, especially in an area of Dorchester that had seen two deadly shootings in just the last two weeks.
"I believe the criminals, they know there is no camera, because it's a safe haven for them," the manager said. He said police told him some city leaders do not want to see more cameras due to concerns over privacy.He added that Monday is the second time in less than two weeks police have asked him for surveillance video."We keep advocating for more cameras in the city budget, we do have the funding, but there's a lot of pushback from city officials that are saying that putting these cameras in areas violates someone's civil liberalities," Flynn said.
Police told NBC10 Boston they have cameras throughout the city they use to investigate cases like the shootings on Washington Street. NBC10 Boston contacted office of Mayor Michelle Wu and reached out to other city councilors, including Brian Worrell, who represents the affected district, but we have not heard back.
