A local Hamilton man has been ordered by the city to take down his security cameras that he has on the outside of his house, despite his claim that his footage has been useful in crime investigations.

Dan Myles says he has 10 security cameras outside his home on MacNab Street North in downtown Hamilton, and he says he needs them.

    Those are the idiots! 😀

    But you’re right, police aren’t / can’t protect people against these crimes. The afterthought does benefit from camera footage, though.

      Police wont look for your stolen car even if you have a 4k video of the theft and a GPS tracker in the car.

        Yeah, but video is still helpful. I helped a neighbour whose car was scratched, and it turned out another neighbour ran into them and fled. LOL 🤭
