ACLU Calls Out NYPD On Spying On #OWS 24/7

The New York Civil Liberties Union is calling on the NYPD to stop its unlawful surveillance of Occupy Wall Street.  With street cameras aimed at Zuccotti Park 24/7 and camera-wielding cops constantly recording everything that’s going on at the occupation – the NYCLU claims the police have gone “far beyond” what is considered lawful activity.  As a statement from the NYCLU to NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly reads: “This type of surveillance substantially chills protest activity and is unlawful.”  I guess the old saying, “The revolution will not be televised,” no longer rings true.
