In the article announcing the deployment of the new devices, KHOU reports, ‘The city has spent more than $18 million in federal money to build its camera system and has another $5 million in reserve.’ Not only are the cameras not bringing down crime, but the police — whose job it is to fight crime — are too busy filling out federal grant forms to be out protecting and serving.”
