He says he has lived in the neighborhood for 20 years with his wife and three kids and that there is no crime on their street.

"For somebody to sit there and watch and see what I'm doing, that's invading my privacy. It's very disrespectful, I don't really see anything in it," Mendez said. "If it's supposed to help the crime rate go down then fine but put it everywhere else, put one on each corner of the block not just on one corner and then the other one in an alley."



He says crime has happened around the outskirts of the neighborhood but not where the cameras are pointed.

"Some just said the cameras are to protect the neighborhood but from what I know, people say there's none in their areas so why is it just going to be on this block?" he asked. "There's not that much crime rate around here."



Diana Arguelles has lived in the neighborhood all her life and says she feels like her rights have been infringed upon.

"They're violating our privacy that's the way we feel," she said. "We're upset about it too our neighbors are very upset. They're invading our privacy. We didn't even know what was going on, what are they looking for? What are they doing?"
