If memory serves, we have video of most of the 9 / 11 hijackers boarding the aircraft. The cameras prevented nothing. If someone is monitoring this "network" of cameras and observes a threat to the community, what force is there to prevent the attack?
None!
Therefore, this a multimillion dollar witness for after the fact observations. Way overpriced as all "grant money" (your tax dollars at work) is. An ambitious project that begs for further local funding to maintain this level of "security". A far less ambitious project will serve as well and not be an unfunded mandate to this cash strapped local government
