I think this is a small step in the right direction. While these cameras won’t stop crime they will certainly shine the light of accountability on those who will, at least that’s my hope.
Not sure how I feel about monitoring only poor people. I guess they will come in handy during absentee time.
Hector, where are most of the problems? For Christ’s sake get off this civil rights bandwagon once in awhile. Where do you suggest these cameras go, in the low-crime areas?
Andy, without “CIVIL” RIGHTS, where would we be? If we are going to look at SOMEBODY then we should look at ALL BODIES, there are crimes being committed in EVERY community and if that (crime) is what we are looking for then why exclude where the successful criminals move to?
Will these cameras be monitored 24/7 and the people performing these duties will they be trained or is this where they will place those on injury duty to work?
Good question, Ron. If they are monitored 24/7, they will serve as a deterrent as well as a crimefighting tool. If not, then their only real purpose is to help the police after the crime is committed.
Ron and Bob, what’s more important than 24 hours monitoring is whether they are running 24 hours and the pictures capture the identity of the criminals who are wrecking havoc over Bridgeport. People may be hesitant to identify criminals when they commit a crime, but won’t be so hesitant to identify a picture they see on the News or in the paper.
A bigger step in the right direction would be to get rid of the city housing projects. You wouldn’t need the cameras.
So where do these families live?
Trumbull and Fairfield.
Families being filmed 24/7. How nice. Ugh.
They can deal with it. They have been living with violent crime, prostitution, drugs and all the other little goodies city housing brings, as long as Papa Entitlement pays the bills, they can deal.
Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. Please stay in the ‘burbs and tell your kids not to come into the dangerous BHA housing projects to buy their drugs.
They might get hurt or worse off they might be filmed buying drugs.
No BHA, no drugs.
Win-Win for both the city and the ‘burbs.
Tell me, where will these suburban kids get their drugs from with no public housing? Hopefully the drug dealers will relocate where their customers are in the suburbs.
*** Kids can cop in the ‘burbs too nowadays or call in an order just like making a call for pizza! Wine or beer with your cronick order, sir? *** WHOOP ***
*** Let’s hope the cameras and the foot patrols help protect the good people and convict the criminals who make our communities a dangerous place to live, visit and/or work! Good Luck and thank you Joe, A.J and those who put their lives on the line every day! *** BLESSINGS BE UPON THEE ***
Great post, Mojo. Let me second that! That should be everybody’s attitude. It’s the only appropriate attitude regarding the safety of the public in Bridgeport.
