Study Critical of San Francisco Surveillance Cameras
SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) -- San Francisco’s surveillance cameras in high-crime areas do not prevent violent crime, according to a new study by researchers at the University of California.
The long-awaited study by the UC Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society found the program is hurt by lack of training and oversight, a failure to integrate footage with other police efforts, poor quality cameras, and what may be a fundamental weakness of cameras as anti-crime devices.
Mayor Newsom began the program four years ago, but out of concern for people’s privacy, police are not allowed to monitor cameras in real time. Investigators must wait until a crime is reported before looking at footage.
Figures...spends lotsa money putting up the d*mned things, then make them as useless as possible. :whatever:

It's the liberal thing to do. With someone else's money of course.

In other words, wait until criminals or terrorists commit their crimes - blowing up and murdering your children, then look at the tapes and decide what to do. Nice!
When do the criminals get to murder Newsom's kiddies?

Well, no problem for the perps if they dump the body a mile away then, I guess.
