NYC Considering Video Surveillance Cameras
From Public Eye:
US News Article | Reuters.com reports:
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly wants to put up some 400 surveillance cameras on high-crime and high-traffic streets to record action to be reviewed later if a crime occurs in the area, the New York Post said in a report on Monday.
"Plans to use surveillance cameras in the city are being considered," a police spokesman told Reuters.
Locations for cameras have not yet been finalized but areas likely to be targeted for surveillance include Manhattan's Herald Square, Times Square and 125th Street in Harlem as well as busy thoroughfares in the city's other boroughs.
The primary goal of the program would be to drive down crimes such as assaults and robberies, a police source said, adding that extra scrutiny in high-profile areas could also be a deterrence to terrorism.
