Lake Charles Surveillance, Bar Camera Ordinance
Police Chief Don Dixon of Lake Charles, Louisiana, proposed a city ordinance requiring bars to install surveillance cameras inside and outside their premises. The proposal follows a violent attack on an off-duty deputy and aims to increase public safety in establishments where alcohol sales exceed 50% of revenue. The trend is compared to the high density of CCTV cameras found in the United Kingdom.
