Cameras in DC Not Helping Fight Crime
From nbc4.com:
This story is noteworthy because its unusual. In most new stories, the police department likes to tout the effectiveness of surveillance cameras. But in this story, they asked residents in Washington DC about the effectiveness of the cameras. Here is what they said:
Community members said the shooting happened within yards of the cameras, which were of little deterrent. "Children getting shot. Every night it's something around here. But, they only have two cameras, and it's a whole community," said one resident. "You know, I think people are really ignoring the cameras. They just act like they don't care. They just don't care," said another resident.
