Are some cameras less intrusive?

Are some cameras less intrusive?

The report about surveillance cameras is misleading. Many vocal residents support the use of cameras. Some Homeland Security Department cameras are on private buildings, e.g., Harvard and Lesley Universities. (CAITLIN WILSON, “CAMERAS COME DOWN,” Weekly Dig, February 11, 2009) The City Council lacks jurisdiction to prevent their operation. The un-elected Cambridge City Manager runs the City as chief law enforcement officer. He remains silent on the funding of these cameras, their placement and operation. Many surveillance cameras operate in Cambridge, which are used by Harvard University police, Cambridge police and state police. What is the difference?
