I was pickpocketed in Ireland and paid a visit to the Garda (Police) station. I was amazed to see the number of video monitors they had. It seemed to show that police in Ireland (and elsewhere, from what I understand) spend more time watching video screens then walking a beat. It was eerie.
That's the kind of thing we're moving towards in Minneapolis.
The other thing that strikes me as odd about the whole thing. Target is donating the cameras and this is referred to as "charity". George Orwell would've been proud.
