(AP) — The police chief says he’s disappointed that a downtown Lincoln bar owner objects to two nearby security cameras installed by the city to deter crime.

Chief Jim Peschong on Wednesday criticized Duffy’s owner Scott Hatfield at a meeting of the mayor’s Citizen Police Advisory Board. Hatfield is a member of the board.

Hatfield told Peschong that he cares about safety but is concerned about the idea that people “can’t come downtown to 14th and O and not be left alone by Big Brother.”

The two cameras were installed at the end of last year at where police say crime is prevalent. They were shut off after some people raised questions about what they saw as invasions of their privacy.
