Local leaders in Houston, like those in so many other cities across the country, have approved the installation of new surveillance cameras. 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.”
