<font size=3>Borough Park, NY - In a city that’s ramped up surveillance
since the 9/11 attacks, the next big installation of security cameras is
not in the bustle of midtown Manhattan or near a well-known tourist
attraction but in a leafy section of Brooklyn known for its low crime and
large Orthodox Jewish population.<br><br>
A hundred security cameras will be installed on public lampposts
throughout the Midwood and Borough Park neighborhoods in the coming
months the result of a $1 million state grant secured in the wake of a
horrifying tragedy: the 2011 abduction, dismemberment and murder of an
8-year-old Hasidic boy named Leiby Kletzky.<br><br>

Halachic question:<br><br>
These cameras will be working on Shabbos also, I presume.
What implications, if any, does this have for observant Jews who
walk by them? Is there no problem or must one avoid them on Shabbos
and Yom Tov.<br><br>
IIRC, the cameras at the Kosel do not operate on Shabbos, but
I am not sure of this. <br><br>
