CCV Opposes Red Light District Cameras |

CINCINNATI - Ever since it publicly opposed the use of euphemisms in the pages of CityBeat, Citizens for Community Values (CCV) has been looking for new ways to promote, well, community values. In his latest campaign, CCV director Phil Burress is speaking out against the use of cameras on Walnut Street, in Cincinnati's red light district.
"Not only can a red light district camera depict dangerous pornography worse than any Sears brassiere ad," said Burress, "But recent studies show they do nothing to improve safety."
Burress point to the marked increase in smashed cameras and pimp slappings that occurred in Amsterdam before red light district cameras were banned there. He is also concerned about an infamous Walnut Street figure who goes by the name of "Big Brother Pimpin'".
"Safety concerns and the Big Brother factor are the reasons I oppose the use of red light district cameras on Walnut Street," said Burress, "I understand the desire to photograph and expose these sex workers, but safety is the first priority."
"Rather than photograph a Walnut Street hooker, citizens concerned about community values should take the safer route, and videotape a dirty movie at your local motel," said Burress, "That is, as long as you promise to send us a copy."
