These cameras are only useful for getting dope-spots off of major intersections and onto sidestreets. If they put a camera on every sidestreet throught the whole westside, there’ll still be places to buy dope and all the crime that accompanies it.

well i live on the westside wilcox and kildare and it needs to be cameras along this street because it’s so much bs happening that the police can’t get to te crime scene in time. my brother was gunned down right across the street from my aunts home and he’s not a drug dealer.something needs to be gone about these kind of hatred.

Sounds a bit like a Ray Bradbury plot. But, if people are stupid or bold enough to commit crimes in public, they deserve to be caught.
Perhaps there are a few good reasons we haven’t already gone to video surveillance on a large scale.
First, while the thought of a security force at their disposal while in public can be reassuring, a fair amount of people feel uncomfortable being monitored. Video surveillance can be permitted in PUBLIC areas, as long as the police don’t get roped into a video security force for businesses, too.
Second, measures need taken to ensure video editing can’t be used to frame individuals that go against the tide of people in powerful positions. Hopefully, this situatation won’t arise.
Third, our police force needs the exercise and the public relations to meet all our needs. Personal relations keep a good repretoire w/ the public, which is healthy for all involved — emotionally, as well as physically.
Just remember, if U don’t do anything wrong, U should have nothing to worry about.
