Cameras add power to keep eye on Chicago
From the IHT:
As police specialists here can already monitor live footage from about 2,000 surveillance cameras around the city, the addition of 250 cameras under the mayor's new plan is not a great jump. The way these cameras will be used, however, involves an extraordinary technological leap.
Sophisticated new computer programs will immediately alert the police whenever anyone is seen wandering aimlessly in circles, lingering outside a public building, pulling a car onto the shoulder of a highway or leaving a package and walking away from it, on any of the cameras placed at buildings and other structures considered terrorist targets.
