Comments on: Policing By Camera: A Discussion of Red Light and Surveillance Cameras as a Tool of Law Enforcement http://www.showmedaily.org/2010/06/policing-by-camera-a-discussion.html Advancing liberty with responsibility by promoting market solutions for Missouri public policy Thu, 24 May 2012 16:17:46 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: MS http://www.showmedaily.org/2010/06/policing-by-camera-a-discussion.html/comment-page-1#comment-11644 MS Sun, 08 Jan 2012 16:01:38 +0000 http://www.showmedaily.org/?p=18340#comment-11644 Using cameras may deter crime, protect the innocent, and assure the civil rights of those who deserve it.If you're not doing anything wrong then you should have nothing to worry about. And why should people who are committing crimes have their civil liberties protected when they are violating someone else's civil liberties by committing the crime in the first place. The use of cameras may also prevent false arrests and accusations. There are way too many people who are wrongfully accused, arrested, prosecuted, and convicted for crimes that they did not commit. I am currently being accused and prosecuted for a crime that I did not do. I have also been viciously attacked ( on more than one occasion) by the same person who has made the false accusation against me. The fact is, my civil rights are already being taken away. My career, reputaion, financial, and emotions well being are at stake. I work hard and I always try to be honest and do the right thing, but still, a career criminal has managed to make people believe otherwise. How can I prove my innocence in my situation other than with the use of surveillance cameras? I wish that they had surveillance cameras on every corner in my area because then I may not have had to go through (and still going through)the vicious attacks and harassement by another person who is violating my civil rights to live my life peacefully.

I tend to say no. For the red light cameras, it is a money grab, plain and simple. For Alderman French, I am more sympathetic. You'll push the crime elsewhere, but the cameras can expand, too.
