Cameras Mandated in Shopping Malls
A follow up to the original post.
The Baltimore Sun is reporting the bill went through:
The bill also calls for a task force to study security issues at malls and make recommendations to the council — a provision added Monday to address concerns of business leaders and county officials, including County Executive James T. Smith Jr.
As amended, the law requires owners of about 100 shopping centers — about half of those in the county — to install video surveillance cameras that cover 75 percent of their parking areas during business hours.
Mall operators will have 18 months to complete the installations, and may apply for county assistance with the camera costs, expected to range from $10,000 to $50,000, depending on the size of the property.
