Fairfield Should Ask Residents Before Expanding Surveillance Cameras

Fairfield Should Ask Residents Before Expanding Surveillance Cameras

Last month, Fairfield quietly replaced its license plate reader cameras with a new system from Axon—without telling residents, holding a vote, or getting town approval first. That's the kind of decision that should happen in the light, not behind closed doors.

I started a petition because I believe residents deserve a say when the town is installing technology to track our movements. It sounds dramatic, but license plate readers do exactly that—they log where every car goes, every day. Old Flock hardware is still visible around town, and we don't even know what happened to the data it collected.

I'm asking Fairfield to pause further expansion, release data on costs and effectiveness, and hold a real public meeting where people can ask questions. You can read my full letter to town leadership here—it lays out the specifics. But honestly, what matters most is showing the First Selectperson and RTM that this isn't just one person's concern.

If this feels off to you too, consider signing and sharing. Does anyone else think our town should've had this conversation before rolling out new surveillance tech?

First Year Teacher in CT!

Hi everyone! I am a recent ECSU college grad and just got my first teaching job as an elementary teacher at a Title 1 school in a large urban district. I created a wishlist on Amazon of supplies my classroom and students will need to start the year. If anyone in the community could help us by purchasing an item off the list, I would so appreciate it! Thank you for your consideration!

Want to actually play D&D every week?

Hello Friends,

I’m here to promote my oddball dungeons and dragons business in Norwalk maybe 2 minutes from SoNo. Many places have ttrpgs as like a side thing, but at Table Top Club it’s our primary and only focus.

I’ve worked so hard (with my dad) to build like the coolest live play rooms anywhere. The goal is to take all the friction out of playing D&D.

We will match you with a group, and like really take the time to make sure it’s a good fit.

That whole matching process is totally free, come play and enjoy the vibe and if you like it we will talk about a subscription because capitalism I guess.

Dungeon Masters always play for free.

Any interest in starting a film club?

Hello,

(Originally posted this in the general Connecticut subreddit, but figured I should make a post here as well since I am currently living in Fairfield)

I am a cinephile currently living in Fairfield who does not have many friends in the area who I can talk with about movies and was wondering if there are people who would be interested in potentially starting some kind of film club.

I figure it could be something where people could organize meetups where people get together to see a movie that's playing in theaters and then maybe have some time to discuss it afterwards. It might also be fun to possibly do a book club-esque thing where people could pick an old movie (or just something that is available on home video/streaming/digital) and then, after a month where people have time to watch and think about it, we can then convene somewhere (either physically or digitally) to discuss it.

In any event, figured I'd just make a post here to see if there is any interest. If there is, I was thinking I might take some time to set up a Discord channel that people could join and then we could start trying to do some stuff on there (though if people know of other methods that may be better to try and organize something like this, I am open to suggestions).

Also if there are any film clubs that already exist in or around Fairfield along these lines, please let me know. I have tried to look for stuff but haven't found much.

Cleaning Service Recommendation

My wife and I are moving to Fairfield in September and are looking for a cleaning service to do a deep clean of the house before we move all our stuff in.

Would prefer a small business or individual rather than a large corporate cleaning company.
