Crime-fighting cameras now installed in downtown Dallas
DALLAS Police have unveiled their 40 new crime-fighting surveillance cameras in downtown Dallas.
This is the program wherein retired officers are the ones scanning the cameras, reportedly 24 hours a day. Intrepid Channel 5 did an update, reporting that the cameras give the cops added insight into the details and nature of crimes being perpetrated, and used the example of a recent late-night fight at the Greyhound bus station downtown, which had been documented by a camera across the street. Police are already salivating over installing more cameras and know just where they'd like to put them.

Wait, so the cameras don't actually fight the crime? Lame.
