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.
