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.

I agree in principle, though they should 100% go after Ring cameras and Teslas first.

Cameras operated by the homeowner, with the video stored on site and not in the cloud, are fine by me. I have some.

The guy was posting videos from is his excessive number of cameras online and playing pretend police of his neighbourhood. That's why the city got involved.

This looks like a rental unit with all the numbers on the mailboxes. Might be stalking other tenants?
