Tulsa, OK | And it snuck in under the radar and for a very low budget considering the size and scope of the project, plus it has very real applications for the city that will save them money long term.
Kudos. |

The Cameras they refer to are things like traffic cameras measuring traffic density and cameras at lights to help determine efficient patterns of light changes for maximum traffic flow amd easing congestion. They are not red light cameras or speed cameras and the like.....
I guess though that the use of security cameras will grow, watching public areas like parks, sporting venues and the like.
This isn't necessarily bad.

| What about face fingerprinting to catch National Security, probation/home arrest violations, and on "innocent" people, track their movements and sell it to marketing research firms to sell to advertisers, turn your head at a store or an ad, and you will get junk mail for that. Walk into a doctors office, and if your old, your get blood pressure and diabeters. Walk slowly and be a senior citizen (face to age cross referencing) and you'll get calls from electric wheelchair salesmen. |
