San Francisco Realizes They got Screwed
Alright, so everyone knows about those annoying cameras that cities across the world are putting up so they can monitor crime and invade your personal privacy, right? Well San Francisco had those installed a few years ago and just now realized they sucked. More info and a video after the jump. It seems that $900,000 just doesn’t buy what it used to. So 68 cameras, 2 seconds per grainy frame, and the aforementioned 900,000 dollars later, and what do you get? 1 arrest. Wooo. Meanwhile, Chicago has similar cameras at 30 fps that have brought great results. So maybe the Police Commish was right when he said the city council was just throwing money away? [SF Gate]
