Cameras in the Subway Cars

The Brian Lehrer Show | Sep 22, 2022

Earlier this week Gov. Hochul announced a plan to put cameras in every single subway car, citing people's fear of crime on the trains as a reason. Stephen Nessen, transportation reporter for the WNYC Newsroom, talks about the civil liberties concerns this has raised, how much crime is actually happening in the system and if experts think it would help. Plus, Donna Lieberman, executive director for the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU), shares her organization's privacy concerns with the plan for cameras in subway cars.
