Grand jury indicts Potsdam town constable for unlawful surveillance

Posted

CANTON -- A Potsdam town constable was indicted Thursday by a St. Lawrence County grand jury on three counts of second-degree unlawful surveillance.

It is alleged that Timothy Rivers, 59, installed an imaging device to secretly record a person without that person’s knowledge or consent in a bathroom on Dec. 30, 2020 and again on Jan. 22, 2021 in the Town of Potsdam.

The three counts allege Rivers video recorded another person in the bathroom on Jan. 22, 2021, also in the Town of Potsdam.

The Potsdam Town Board had placed Rivers on leave Jan. 25, 2021 pending the outcome of the criminal charges.
