Surveillance cameras set up in Cato town for traffic monitoring and criminal investigation purposes
FingerLakes1.com, the region's leading all-digital news publication, has been keeping residents informed for over two decades. Recently, a significant change has been observed at the intersection of Routes 34 and 370 in Cato.
New surveillance cameras have been installed at the intersection, funded by FEMA. Cayuga County Sheriff Brian Schenck is responsible for the installation of these devices, designed to identify vehicles passing through the intersection and monitor traffic. The state DOT already had a separate traffic sensor at the same spot before the installation of the new cameras.
The cameras, intended to help solve crimes, have sparked debate online, with some residents expressing privacy concerns. These concerns were raised following a recent federal immigration raid nearby. However, Sheriff Schenck declined to share more details due to security concerns, and no specific details about the privacy concerns were provided in the article.
