Smile for the cameras please

Police To Monitor Cameras Along I-Drive, Downtown Orlando

It is probably a good idea if they can keep the cameras operational. New Orleans has cameras, but many of them are not operational. As you know, the crime in New Orleans is now escalating again, as it was recently ranked as the most dangerous city in America.

Now here is the bad news. As they ratchet up enforcement using these cameras, the criminals will eventually get tired of getting taken down on a regular basis, and will move to other outlying areas where there is less opposition by law enforcement. We will start to see crime increase in areas that once had very little. You never really get rid of crime, you just move it around to another area.
