Canada Forces Man to Remove Cameras From Private Property Amid Anti-Racism Push
2025-09-11
[ZeroHedge] As reported by CHCH-TV, a Canadian man recently received an order from the city of Hamilton to remove a series of private cameras on his property, mounted to thwart criminality.

Via CHCH-TV (emphasis added):

“A local Hamilton man has been ordered by the city to take down his security cameras that he has on the outside of his house, despite his claim that his footage has been useful in crime investigations.

Dan Myles says he has 10 security cameras outside his home on MacNab Street North in downtown Hamilton, and he says he needs them.

“Because we had a lot of break and enters into our home and homes around us,” said Myles.

Myles has posted videos of break-ins online.

He also says police have asked him for his videos over the years to help with investigations.

CHCH News reached out to Hamilton police, and they say they can’t confirm the use of Myles’ videos, but said they often work with homeowners, businesses and drivers to get footage…

But last week, Myles received an order to comply with the City of Hamilton’s fortification by-law, which asked him to remove his cameras.

The by-law says homeowners are not permitted to view or listen beyond the perimeters of their own property.

“I got a notice from by-law and I thought ‘how could this be’,” said Myles. “Everybody has Ring doorbells pointed at the street, and my neighbours have cameras pointed at my house, and we all point cameras at each other.””

In this case, the city offered no explanation for the order.

However, Canadian state media has decried the general racism allegedly promulgated by recording minorities committing crime.
