North Huron To Surveil All Downtown Residents, Customers & Public Claiming Alleged Legal Loophole Via BIA Department #AvoidWingham #PoliceState 

(North Huron) At last night’s council meeting of the Corporation of North Huron, they confirmed they will be video recording everyone that visits Wingham, drives or walks down Josephine St.  All Citizens are urged to avoid downtown Wingham at all costs, until the privacy and dignity of those living, working in Wingham can be restored.

A source has claimed Town Hall is doing this to monitor who is going into certain businesses, to identify dissenters, figure out which businesses are busy and profitable in case they want to start their own competing business, or how much to increase taxes on businesses.

The Corporation of North Huron’s BIA department has refused to solicit public input claiming the “Greater Good” overrides privacy rights.  

While what they originally prossed was highly illegal, they believe they can deflect that liability and prosecution to unsuspecting business owners with this new plan.
