The NYPD is installing 505 surveillance cameras around the city - and pushing to safeguard lower Manhattan with a "ring of steel" that could track hundreds of thousands of people and cars a day, authorities revealed yesterday.
The police cameras will constantly keep watch over neighborhoods plagued by crime and monitor potential terror targets as the city moves to put another 1,200 cops on the street, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.
So, in other words "it's for our own good"?
THANK YOU,
Is crime really THAT bad? Could you maybe, oh, I don't know hire more cops? Or train the ones you've got better?
As the US economy continues to tank crime will only get worse. And don't tell me it's not tanking. When Reuters.Com is reporting in [http://today.reuters.com/news/newsarticle.aspx?type=businessNews&storyid=2006-03-22T173911Z_01_N22209346_RTRUKOC_0_US-AUTOS-GM-DELPHI.xml&rpc=23|a March 22, 2006 article] reports that GM has to buy out all of its 125,000 hourly employees you can't tell me the economy is coming back.
So, I guess rather than creating new jobs, let's just buy more cameras.
Sheesh--and people are worried about losing jobs to outsourcing and illegal immigrants!
