I'm watching the Philadelphia news on TV. A cab driver was beaten and robbed last night...is in critical condition now. The only way the thugs can possibly be identified will be from a surveilance camera. Authorities are studying the film now.

Last month a young pediatrician was raped and killed in her home in the city. They had no leads until a street surveilance camera showed a plumber walking to and from her apartment. He was identified immediately and arrested.

Another perp was identified recently slashing all the tires on 20 cars and trucks parked on a certain street. Wouldn't you want to know who did it if that happened to you?

Have you ever heard of innocent people being harmed by these cameras? You might be thankful for a camera if you or one of your children or family members are abducted or harmed.

Oh well...our taxpayer money will be spent replacing them, and the price of goods will go up because these criminals are admitting they want to steal. How immature and stupid.
