PRESS RELEASE: PROTEST AGAINST LANCASTER’S SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS

Group to Hold 4th Protest This Summer Against Unaccountable, Warrantless Surveillance

August 29th, 2009 in Downtown Lancaster, PA

Lancaster Pa, August 24, 2009—The Citizens Against Public Surveillance (CAPS) is holding a large protest against the implementation of surveillance cameras deployed in Lancaster, PA, and is inviting all who want a voice in this matter to attend. CAPS is a recent offshoot of the Lancaster Coalition for Sensible Security (LCSS), and is organized to end the hasty deployment of the privately run, Orwellian surveillance system in a city of 55,000 people with a 25% poverty rate.

The CAPS protest will be held this Saturday at Farnum Park (Water & Conestoga Streets) at 1:00 pm on Saturday, August 29, 2009. The protesters will then march to Lancaster Square at 2:00 pm for the rest of their rally. The theme of the rally is – “Take the cameras down”.
