Facial recognition cameras in Florida city spark privacy concerns

New security cameras in downtown Lakeland are raising concerns about privacy. The Lakeland Downtown Development Authority has begun installing 13 new security cameras on streets, sidewalks, and alleyways, and there are mixed feelings about them. "I’m really happy that the cameras are here. It gives us eyes to see what's going on,” said Nikki Hunt, owner of Scout and Tag.
