Within 10 years.

Notice the GATT cameras over there...and how so many over here said "they could never do it here". LOL

You can't step a foot into Manhattan without being on cam.

Cameras line I-95

We have "stoplight cams" now.

I believe da man takes DNA samples from all felons.....soon it will be all those who committed misdemeanors....then the rest of us.
