If the DA prosecutes, if not then a pointless waste of time and money.
If they don’t put them in jail, what is the point?
It’s almost like this is what they (the deep state) wanted all along.
The perceptible drop in crime will be negligible.
Stolen or destroyed in 3, 2, 1
So they simply want to be crime voyeurs.
Interesting.
I’m sure they’re a lot of hackers out there just dying to hack this system and make the cameras inoperable.
To persecute those they deem guilty. Be it legally or the release of specific video.
yeah sure- they have learned that nudity can be seen when the homeless squat to poop- so that is why they are installing the cameras-
Black Civil Rights leaders would march against this is Republican did it. But now that the Leftists, who are fed up with the crime from Leftist Progressives, are finally taking action.
Then there are the British Bladerunners disabling/distroying ULEZ cameras. Even silly string or a sticker over the lens does the trick.
But we were told it’s Korean automakers Hyundai and Kia cars are too easy to steal…. 🧐. What else are they going to use those cameras for?
“ In 2023, Oakland, California was the site of 14,554 motor vehicle thefts, an all-time high for the city.”
“… the ability to track vehicles as they drive around the area, and can track them using license plates, car type, color, decals, and bumper stickers.”
Just to show that the idiots in Oakland can’t put 2 and 2 together. The criminals won’t care if the vehicle is tracked because it’s stolen.
Hmmm? The Bay Area has 80, 280, 380, 580, 680, 780, and 880.
There is no 480 there.
They are in jail - Oakland, like other blue former cities, has long since become an open-air prison/psych ward/reservation.
In another twist of irony, those cameras will be monitored by a private company, and since that company will be hired under a Didn't Earn It (DEI) contract, the watchers (aka "The Man") will be black and mostly female.
We can't put them in jails, we closed half our jails because we don't want to jail anyone anymore, it's racist.
The cameras will be used to find and arrest any store owners attempting to restrain or harass gangs of armed shoplifters who are pilfering their merchandise.
This is about public safety the same way green policy is about saving the planet or CoupFlu policy is about protecting public health...
