It has helped solved other homicides and other cases - that is a fact. National Institute of Justice just did a presentation on this and said as much. Even the people who run the camera project will tell they have a ways to go for it to reach it's ultimate potential, but it has proven its' value.
Cameras do not improve response time but when the PD implemented the online reporting system, which did help, people on this board complained about that as well.
Still can't answer he "confidentiality" thing though. Saw you online at 6:30 am this morning visitor - they must pay you well to be their mouthpiece all day/night.
I'm nobody's mouthpiece - if I have information - I share it. If I see a problem - I'll acknowledge it. Please, point out some threads where I say everything in the City , including City government is fine. You can't.
Problem on this site is that if you say anything except "everything related to the City sucks" - you come under attack.
Confidentiality - too ridiculous an argument to even engage in.
Yep, about what I figured. When you can't dispute the facts of residents being harassed, intimidated, doubted and exposed by the PD, then call it "ridiculous".

As in it's 'ultimate potential' being to see through hoodies or walls and in homes?

Cameras DO NOT have a significant impact in reducing crime and if you don't believe me, all you have to do is look at the country with the most cameras....The UK.
From rival drug dealers, who want that corner. Or kids who got arrested for 7th degree possession, whom you scare to death until they give you names.
If it weren't for "tips", the SPD wouldn't make a single arrest for anything other than specific complaints, or traffic infractions that happen right in front of them.
Their "investigators" are too busy trolling Craigslist for months, only to lure a single prostitute FROM LATHAM, so that she could plea to a "B" misdemeanor. As though there aren't enough prostitutes in Schenectady.
Hey, shouldn't you be busy throwing eggs at cars? Come on, at least get drunk, and drive over to your girlfriend's house and beat her. You have a reputation to uphold!
If these damn cameras were soooooooooooo effective.....the city wouldn't still have shooters, rapists, robbers and knife wielding idiots still loose!!! The streets wouldn't be over run with drug dealers.
As far as 'tips'....give me a break. How the hell can anyone give a 'tip' when they call the spd and get a recording??? Or when they do call the cops for assistance....they arrive hopefully in the same day!!!!
Couple that with the weak judges who IF these idiots are caught and tried...they are right back out on the streets because of those two sweet words........PLEA BARGIN!!!!
Pallllllleeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzz!!!

She IS the girlfriend.
