Ever since those shiny yet useless crime cameras were installed around the city's areas of concern back in '05, there has "only been one arrest attributed to the $900,000 spy system since they were put up." What's more, they scare no one, it seems, so the "scarecrow strategy," sucks. Awesome. And unlike D.C. and Rochester who have people watching the crime cameras, SF does not Or rather, didn't. See, yesterday the Board of Supes voted to eliminate funding for the cameras, which means that in addition to the security cams NOT working harder than ever before, we cannot afford to pay anyone to take them down. Smile.
