RCMP admit to monitoring B.C. graffiti artist
By Contributor
A Grand Forks graffiti artist was being watched by the RCMP, the police admitted Monday, the CBC reported.
Two surveillance cameras hidden in trees near his home were found in June by Dion Nordick, with pictures of himself and friends coming and going from his home.
He also found hundreds of pictures of drug busts, suicides and assaults that had not been erased from the camera’s memory card.
On Monday police admitted the cameras were installed to monitor a suspected grow ooperation.
Staff Sgt. Dan Seibel says when police searched the home, they found no plants, but did find graffiti stencils and paint.
Officers then installed two new cameras to watch Dion Nordick, a suspected graffiti artist.
Seibel says the graffiti artist allegedly had been tagging Grand Forks with a logo bearing guns and the word “dissent.”
