There are now more than 140,000 private security guards licensed in Canada and only about 70,000 active police officers, raising concerns over blurring the line between private and public police forces. (Alistair Forrester Shankie/iStock )

3. Collection of Personal Information Using a
Video Surveillance System
Any recorded data or visual, audio or other images of an identifiable individual qualifies as
“personal information” under the
Acts
.
3
Since video surveillance systems can be operated to collect personal information about
identifiable individuals, organizations must determine if they have the authority to collect
this personal information in accordance with the
Acts
.
Pursuant to section 38(2) of the provincial
Act
and section 28(2) of the municipal
Act
, no
person shall collect personal information on behalf of an organization unless the collection
is expressly authorized by statute, used for the purposes of law enforcement or necessary to
the proper administration of a lawfully authorized activity. For example, the collection of
personal information that is merely helpful and not necessary to the proper administration
of a lawfully authorized activity would not meet the requirements of sections 28(2) and
38(2).
4
Organizations must be able to demonstrate that any proposed or existing collection of personal
information by a video surveillance system is authorized under this provision of the
Acts

My words:
In Toronto there are a group of people (mainly woman) stating they have the right to spy on their neighbors and other groups of people in the city they deem as offensive or a threat. They do this to protect the children of the city or neighborhoods.
"We have spent alot of time to get jobs and positions that allow us to use sercurity infastracture to follow and track the movements of people in the city. We create and compil lists especail those people that go to medicakl clinics and doctors officeswer need to know the health and movments of peop[le in the city. The police dop not know anything we know what really go\es on in this city we use and have cameras placed to track these movments'
These woman work in security companies and are profiling people, THEY DO NOT WORK WITH POLICE.
Security companies do not work with the police, plr\esase remember a public polixce camera has to state it is a police camera on it and that it is CCTV cam,era. that means "NON-Wirlesss" connection.
Unlike security companies that use wireless the most insecure way of transmitting information and video.
I have receive3d numerous death threats in the last few years, because of my open stance on tighter and more transparent look at security companies (collection live or recorded video, length of time recordings are kept and access to these live cameras and recordings of video. What type of cameras they use and access to these cameras, wireless or CCTV though VPN connections to them.
