Well according to what some of the posters are saying, you would need 5-10 cameras every single block to replace the officers they say will lose their jobs if we had cameras instead of cops.

Well, when you're making 38 grand to start in palm beach, broward and dade and 33 grand to start for the rest of the state along with outdated tech, you'd be pretty pissed off and disgruntled and sit on your ass when mostly every dept starts you off at 45 grand. FHP loses about 10-20 troopers a month to other depts. And maybe that trooper sitting on his/her ass is writing a long report or a short report or running radar or looking for infractions or waiting for another trooper.

And BTW, a troopers main job is to pull people over along with traffic and accidents on designated highways. The rest is handled by the county and city cops such as robbery, domestics, burglary, ect...

And by the way, show me a camera that can pull someone over for speeding, run their license, find out they have a warrant and arrest them or do a DUI test...

you got it GP.. they have a really strange an tough job.. i mean, except for the few who know friends or such in some force, most give them grief and zero respect, an damn.. we need'm and it'a dirty job... cameras at intersections an tickets for those who innocently run red lights would i feel vastly decrease the run red lights and in cases prevent a ton a accidents an deaths.. adding camera's to needed area's an keep support options available to street cops, troopers or whomevers applicable has got to be some method to curb this anarchy... i wouldn't say we need every inch covered, like apparently england has the most cam's coverage.. but.. what can it hurt to cover the area's of concern.. the primary area's of traffic danger.. and build out from there...
