Members of the Okanagan Forest Task Force have donated their own cameras in an effort to catch and deter people from illegal dumping in the bush.

The Task Force will not disclose how many or where the cameras are located, but so far 13 or 14 tickets have been issued as a result of the eye in the sky 香蕉视频直播� or more accurately, attached to the trees.
