Surveillance Cameras Required By Township Ordinance
Banks, liquor stores and other kinds of shops are now required to have surveillance camera systems.
CLINTON TOWNSHIP, MI — Video camera surveillance is nothing new for many businesses. But a new Clinton Township ordinance requiring banks, liquor stores and other kinds of shops to have them is. The aim is to protect customers and help police catch criminals, according to a Macomb Daily report.
“Everyone wants the video,” said Detective Capt. Richard Maierle, who came up with the plan to increase interior and exterior surveillance.
