St. Paul is getting their new 45 camera surveillance system ready for the upcoming RNC. It’s paid for by the Department of Justice – costing a mere $2 million. Soon the camera video feeds will be available to anyone over the internet, YEAH!!. I’ve been wanting to watch drug deals going down in downtown St. Paul – live. Especially the undercover wheelchair cop (“St. Paul Police say this wasn’t a stunt to clean up St. Paul before the Republican National Convention.”). The cameras can read a license plate at a distance of two blocks. More on the reasons such a camera network is needed.
And this network will be dismantled after the convention right? No?! Oh, I guess the convention was just a convenient excuse then:)
Pretty penny spent, but I am glad they will keep i t afterwards as the bad guys are caught on tape and the ACLU and others can get their nickers in a twist.
They will remain, although they will be spread out to cover more area after the convention.
