Anchor at News 5 Cleveland
CLEVELAND — The Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office is expanding its fleet of eyes in the sky. The sheriff’s department got its first five mobile cameras in 2016; soon that number will more than double to 11.“They’re invaluable,” said Cuyahoga County Sheriff Harold Pretel. “It’s an IP-based system so we can send that live video feed to anywhere, command buses are very popular for that also."The cameras are used at big events like the RNC, parades and fireworks on the Fourth of July.
Many people were at Edgewater Park on Tuesday to enjoy the beautiful weather, including Stephanie Mackey. Jacob Byrd knows about cameras. He is the owner of Hyde Media; he’s in the business of capturing memorable moments. He likes that the camera never blinks. But not everyone likes the idea. The ACLU has expressed concerns in the past about similar cameras deployed in local cities because the organization said there are no statewide laws governing how the cameras could be used.
