Two and a half years ago, Mayor Daly said that he wanted a CCTV camera on every street corner by 2016.  It appears that he might just get his wish.  Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, he still believes that this will cut crime and, now, give Chicago a shot at hosting the olympics.

Many of these cameras were installed in high crime areas in Chicago.  They are still high crime areas.  Little has changed.  No matter where in the world they are installed, CCTV cameras still don’t prevent crime.
