MTA will install two surveillance cameras inside every subway car over the next three years and begin phasing out MetroCards early next year. 

Albert Fox Cahn, executive director of the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project, a civil rights and privacy group, joined Bobby Cuza on “Inside City Hall” Thursday to talk more about MTA’s new plans. 

“The problem is, people don’t feel safer even when they are safer. But the camera’s aren’t going to solve that,” he said. Cameras are not helpful for investigations and are “terrible” at deterring crime, he said. 

“So what you’re going to see is subways where people feel even more at risk because you have even more images of crimes that take place, even as crime rates continue to go down,” Cahn said.
