The city of Miami has comprised a plan to place police cameras on every street corner in South Beach- an area heavily trafficked by tourists. The cameras may cost the city upwards of $8 million.

Miami New Times reported, “That figure includes extra money for new police license-plate readers, which are a far more controversial tool than standard surveillance cameras. A draft of the plan from 2017 called for 62 new cameras across town at a cost of $5,000 to $6,000 each. That figure doesn’t include the additional infrastructure upgrades that will be necessary to maintain the cameras and transmit footage to police across town.”

The plan is drawing attention from Civil Liberties groups who claim the plan would be an invasion of privacy.
