Covert Surveillance

Hidden devices set up in the local arena, municipal building and firehall in small Ontario community

The Globe and Mail reports that the small rural Ontario municipality of Highlands East, in the Haliburton area, had installed cameras in several facilities. The article described the device thusly:

“The camera was powered up and broadcasting both audio and video, it was set up so anybody within about 300 feet who had that type of receiver could watch in there and listen with impunity.”

I think somebody in Highlands East should read Part VI of the Canadian Criminal Code. If this device captured audio then it might be considered a listening device used to illegally intercept private communications.
