Security cameras trained on the public way have been used in Son Servera since 2008 without permission having ever been obtained from the national government's delegation to the Balearics, which is a requirement before surveillance can be done in this fashion. On Son Servera (On SS), the independent opposition party at the town hall has condemned this and has called on the current administration to withdraw them immediately. It was the administration in 2008 which had been responsible for the cameras having been installed, and On SS is also demanding to know who specifically was responsible.

The Lady Mayoress will resolve this administration error. I have welcomed their protective use. Recently there was a major drugs arrest in Son Severa. I am sure the security cameras were instrumental, is effecting the evidence needed to stop this narcotics crime. It is so obvious that there were suspicious circumstances recorded from the constant stream of traffic entering the Town. I would like to see the entrance road to the Town CLOSED. Before further criminal activity begins to flourish. Long may the Security Cameras continue to remain in operation.
