Though I am inpressed with Mayor Cory’s efforts in Newark, I believe the deeper problem to address is how to prevent people from becoming criminals. It is failed social establishment systems that create criminals. Schools that do not educate and communities that do not create places and opportunites for displaced kids to become productive citizens early on. This is the real issue that must to be addressed. Otherwise we are dealing with the symptoms of a greater demise.

As a native Newarker, i really support Mr. booker’s efforts to bring about much needed opportunity and viable living conditions to those that have been brainwashed by the “victim” mentality.

[...] TechCrunch reports on the efforts of Cory Booker, Mayor of Newark, who is using extremely sophisticated cameras to police violent neighborhoods. The capabilities of the cameras employed in Newark are astounding, though I’m not entirely convinced that a purely technocratic approach to combatting violent gun and drug crime actually resolved the root causes of the issue.

cops dont want to solve problems. no one wants to work themselves out of a job. solutions to worlds problems are black and white . its not like we are looking for a cure for cancer or something. gps and camera tech we have now can change the world.

example they say dont speed over 65 mph
yet no genius in law enforcement creates a law that manufacturers cannot exceed this limit on cars made.

highway patrol man rolls 12 times to his death, trying to catch up to a speeder. was it worth it?

when will common sense be the rule and not people trying to fill there own pockets.

Why do they want to stop the killings if most are drug related?
Let the druggies kill each other….

actually, many urban/inner city areas are experiencing rapid gentrification. Not all, to be sure, but the situation definitely requires a more positive (and accurate) comment than: “our inner cities are going to hell in a hand basket”.

This is crass, but what is the economic ramifications of this program? I would imagine it would encourage economic growth, tourism (if only to see the security system), and may even force drug dealers to get taxable jobs!

I almost wonder from a purely economic standpoint if this system could pay for itself.

I second that. This initiative really tackles a problem although according to this former FBI agent, cyber crime is the new threat to countries, and that we are unprepared to fight it.

whether landoords can surveill their tenants is something to be agreed upon by landlord and tenant. And no tenant will agree to that, but I think will gladly agree to having the area around their home electronically patrolled.

And someday the software will be so good, it will be very difficult to commit a property crime or even cram a copy of the Watchtower under your front door.

And none of that technology needs to be put in place by government. People will do it themselves when the cost of installing a system dips below $100.

All those saying how “we have to do something”, and that it’s no big deal because it’s in public areas, just remember:

“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

Thank you for helping us down this path.

Please. Who is going to wade through all the recordings?

Mechanical turk approaches do not scale well.

Iso, if you want to say that people outside of their own private property deserve no privacy, then you’re moving down a slippery slope. Can landlords videotape all the activity of their renters?

Also, why don’t we have surveillance cameras inside the White House, Congress, Oval Office, etc. taping all conversations, comings and goings, and meetings of top government officials? They aren’t private residences, those buildings and offices belong to the public. Govt. officals are public officials, supposedly serving the public. Are their activities on videotape? The White House could really use some surveillance, it seems they have such, ahem, difficulty, retaining even their email records. These gang members and drug dealers cause some problems, but those are nothing compared to bad choices or false information spewing from our top *public* officials. (Wars, torture programs, etc.) Let’s tape our public officials, too. I’ll hold my breath while the cameras get installed.

At best, you have a spy vs. spy escalation but the moment you fire you give away position — remember what these things key off right?

Big Brother would be so envious of what the government can and is doing today.

There is no doubt that a total surveillance and control society is safer, for those who don’t object to any government policies or leaders at least.
