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
â– Yes, if they can ensure the resolution is high enough to be of value and they have a budget for it.
â– Yes! We could watch all the activities downtown. If you are not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to hide!
â– 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.
â– NO, not with the city budget in the red.
â– 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!
â– 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.
â– Good idea. Maybe they will capture other crimes in action.
â– Not without a plan as to who would man them and how often, etc.
