The police in Edmonton, Alberta are proposing to place surveillance cameras on the city's popular strip. Frank Work, the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta is not impressed.

"The cameras will contribute to the overall perception of public safety and the mitigation of crime and disorder."

So the privacy warning on the cameras might say: "Security theatre in effect- won't cut crime - but have a nice day."
