Should hidden cameras be installed downtown to catch graffiti
perpetrators?
THIS WEEK’S WEB POLL:
Should hidden cameras be installed downtown to catch graffiti perpetrators?
Yes: 6 No: 6
■ Yes, if they can ensure the resolution is high enough to be of value and they have a budget for it.
■ Yes! We could watch all the activities downtown. If you are not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to hide!
■ I think that is a great idea. You can catch the kids doing graffiti and have a great eye for other trouble happening in our city.
■ NO, not with the city budget in the red.
■ How can we ensure the information will be used ONLY to catch graffiti perpetrators?
■ Yes. Cameras might be effective … a few well placed snipers would be better!
■ No cameras downtown. When PD catches perpetrators, the district attorney’s office should prosecute more aggressively and judges should be far more severe with sentencing. If they are juveniles, sentence their parents … something more than just a slap on the hand.
■ Good idea. Maybe they will capture other crimes in action.
■ Not without a plan as to who would man them and how often, etc.
