And, $75,000 to catch only a fraction of what officers do everyday? If the “action” isn’t right in front of the car, the cameras are useless. What about when they are at your house, at a store with a shoplifter etc? I know a cop pretty well and he makes 1 maybe 2 car stops a night. The rest of the time a camera on the dash is an expensive peice of dash decoration.

Why have them if they don’t work? Crazy!

Come on.

I understand the “Big Brother” implications of the issue, and they are a bit disconcerting.

On the other hand, if there were cameras replacing real live cops on every corner, I personally think my behavior would pass muster; same as if there were a real live cop standing up the street.

I have no problem with traffic light cameras. I don’t object to surveillant cameras in public spaces.

The only-est reason people turn to crime is the thought they might get away with it.

I had a cup of coffee not long ago with a couple of cops who insisted they weren’t working under the pressure of “quotas.” No. It’s now called “enforcement by objective.” (In other words, a “quota.”) If their particular patrol assignment didn’t generate as many tickets and infractions as previous officers’ they were punished. And if they’d done their job properly (i.e., discourage and prevent law-breaking), they were punished.

As far as I’m considered, put ‘em all on camera: crooks and cops.
