Again, Lies and Wasted Money

The bigger the lie, the more people might actually believe it:
  • Ninety cameras will be installed outside Fenger and 39 other Chicago Public high schools to stop what Mayor Daley called the ugly “epidemic of children killing children,” thanks to a $2.25 million gift from the banking giant that employs the mayor’s brother.

    Last year, a bloody weekend for CPS students prompted Daley to link 4,844 cameras inside schools and 1,437 exterior school cameras to police districts, squad cars and the 911 center. Until that time, real-time video from school cameras was accessible only to school security.

    Thanks to J.P. Morgan Chase, where William Daley serves as Midwest chairman, 40 more high schools will get exterior cameras. They include Fenger, where 16-year-old Derrion Albert was beaten to death in September during a brawl captured on videotape and played around the world.

Available in squad cars? Really? We'd love to see that. Actually, we wouldn't, because that would mean more police tied-up to a bullshit system that hasn't done one single thing to stop a beating, a shooting or a killing.

The only proven strategy that prevents crime time and time again is eyes on the street and boots on the ground. Look at those camera totals - 4,844 inside cameras and 1,437 outside cameras. 6,281 cameras.

Over SIXTY-TWO HUNDRED cameras just on high schools. And how many people hired to watch them? We're going to take a wild guess here and say under 20. A dozen or twenty coppers taken off the streets, maybe a few clout-heavy retirees hired to watch some screens, but in reality no one is watching these things. They can't. The cost of hiring enough eyeballs would deplete the entire Department budget in a year.

Think of the floor space needed for something like this. Think of the computers and video monitors. Think of the electronic storage you have to have on hand for an operation of this size - we're not talking megabytes or gigabytes - but multiple terabytes of information just for storage purposes.

And get this...
  • Schools CEO Ron Huberman stressed that some of the new cameras would be “outside the immediate envelope” of the school because that’s where the violence takes place.

    Daley stressed that none of the new cameras would have blue strobe lights that carry the stigma of a high-crime area.

    “You won’t even see this unless you’re looking for it,” he said.

"The Hube" states the obvious - most of this doesn't happen on school grounds. Even the Fenger incident took place blocks away and wouldn't have been prevented even if a hundred cameras were around. And no "blue light" strobes? The deterrent value of these cameras is nil. The only purpose they serve is to record a crime as it happens - and that's a longshot seeing as how the cameras are always pointed the wrong way or non-functional half the time.

How about we hire a shitload of cops and re-start the School Unit?

Never saw a camera jump off a pole and make an arrest. How about more boots on the ground Mr. Mayor? Cameras catch images not criminals.

FYI SCC: Darrion Alberts was NOT beaten to death AT Fenger. He was at 400 W. 111th St. a full half mile away from the school, and 30 minutes after school dismissal. Fenger is at 11220 S. Wallace. It has at least 4 cameras within 2 blocks of the school.

This is just another way of them stealing taxpayer money. But the big picture here is the Mayor's brother working for Chase Bank. Does anyone know how much city of Chicago taxpayer money was invested in those subprime loans, through Chase? How much did chicago lose? And why is the media not on top of this?

On a seperate note: Reno 911 show at Showtime Comedy Club @ 133RD and Cicero (east side of Cicero.) Tonight was a great show featuring Carlos and Cecil (the guys who play Jones and Garcia on Reno.) The show was awesome and there was a good band playing after that. Show started at 9pm and will again tomorrow Saturday night. It was a shame there weren't a lot of people there. Not very good advertising I guess, but the owner, Al, was great to the police and reserved us seats in the front. The show was great and you could tell they spent a lot of money on this new place. The Reno 911 guys were real cool and were real police supporters. A great comedy relief in a sometimes too serious world of policing. Make the trip Saturday night and you will be glad you did.

This must be your first time on the blog, so we'll be gentle with you. Go back and read the post. All of it. If you stay on the comment page here and click the blue words at the top left (your other left) that say Show Original Post, what WE wrote magically appears (it's electrons and complicated stuff).

"The Hube" states the obvious - most of this doesn't happen on school grounds. Even the Fenger incident took place blocks away and wouldn't have been prevented even if a hundred cameras were around.

Hey! Look at that! We said he was "blocks away." We even point out that "The Hube" is aware of this and is already laying the groundwork for ass covering should some other angel be beaten in short order. Please, Please, Please read what we wrote before commenting. And don't attribute what appears in the comments to us. Thanks.

The main goal here for CPS is to begin operation safe passage.

You'll have gang banger A going to school and for him to go back and forth to school he has to walk through the territory of gang banger B who also and most likely attends the same school.

CPS is vey much relying on the fact that CPD is supplying the state of the art graphs and maps where is most of the high crimes against students are occurring.

Guess where do they get this info from?

The Deployment Operation Center ( DOC).
CPS also either supplied the GIS mapping of all the gang territories or already has access to that for them plotting and planning the hottest corners and the dangerous routes the kids are taken.

The problem is:

The gang maps are old and outdated!!
CPD participation is at a minimum in the decision making process!!
The people who know the most are always excluded ( school Sgt's and officers)

finally,

With the new overtime school dismissals initiative, it's working o.k simply because the school Sgt's are the ones determining where the hot spots are!!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen more weight is recklessly being thrown our way and we have to start making it our business to be at these discussion tables or at least have some type of representation from the people who are actually doing the leg work.

The way it's going, it will be the responsibility of the Desk to monitor certain schools, the Front office, Review Office, and school Sgts'.

The participation of any other units would be about the 'same' as before !!

Out suggestion would be:

go back to the drawing board and CPD with it's many experienced and talented ranks come up with the ' plan of the Day'. Leave it up to the District to determine what's best for them. One school might go up in flames and the next day it might be a different school. Use these cameras but what do you expect out of the Beat cars and others alike... They will be good for prosecution and the public's fear of being caught on tape!!! Good ,, but that's about it...

Be Safe and If you have to Watch those Cameras: get an event # and state a location. After All!!! It is a Job with a code.!!!

Ever notice the lack of traffic/red light cameras in the ghetto? Why is that? No money to be made from tracking down unlicensed drivers, vehicles and criminal broke asses.

No segregation? All are equal under the law? No special treatment, tactics, politics, consideration? It would seem the polar opposite.


These areas get all the troops but no revenue generating cameras? Coppers deal with crime and the cameras only record it. Looks like the mayor has painted himself in a corner yet again and no one seems to care.

Pray on the taxpayers and reward the bottom feeders. The system continues to work...for itself.

As someone who has to watch video as part of investigations I would say 97% percent of the time they provide very little evidentiary value. The video at Fenger as we all know was shot by a person on scene and helped lead investigators to the offenders. That is certainly not the case with the Pods and other video sources.For example you see a male, possibly a teen, with a black hood walk up and shoot another male and then flee. What does that give you? An unknown male teen and direction of flight.As you state, no one is watching the cameras to call in the crime. So they are useless.

The only effective program to combat school violence is the "Back to the Street Program" implemented by 1st Deputy Jackson. The officers are eager to do work and leave the boring office jobs to do the job that the day dogs in the district are not doing (ie. effective patrol).

Eliminate additional camera funding and have more insiders un-leash their eager work and experience on the street. As was documented in the past no major incidents since the "Back to the Street" or "Safe Schools" Programs were implemented.

As a society we are doomed if we don't wake up and call a spade a spade. Vance Henry and 20 busloads of Reverends are not the answer. RESPONSIBILITY is the key.

Maybe daley should dump his huge bodyguard detail,
They could use all the bodyguards and restart the school unit!

I wouldn't bet on them doing a damn thing. A co worker told me that he had worked special with one of these D3 pay idiots that refused to get involved in any activity.
Claimed the detail people can't make arrests or write tickets that would require them going to court and unavailable to pick-up cleaning or whatever.
Wonder why these guys are even allowed to work special employment.
I guess getting the medal of valor awards pushed through by keating wasn't enough.
Must be nice to capture unarmed escapees out of state while securing short shanks vacation crib. Funny though, a couple of the crew on the award were in Illinois at the time. Check the Ipasses mr exempt, or doesn't reality have anything to do with it anymore?

The terrible truth is: we are witnessing the end of the United States of America. It was sold off by greedy Politicians and Wall Street Types.
I an 62yrs old. I witnessed America in Great Years. I served on The CPD in Great Times. I took it for granted. I thought it would always continue. Now I fear for my children and grandchildren.

These cameras were never about reducing crime. They were another daley scheme to make $$$$$ for himself and his chosen circle of grafters.

Whenever the strobe light flash's on a daley camera it signals that more money just dropped into his pockets. He is one greedy Fucker to put it nicely.

When ever daley see's a blue strobe flash he gets a "woody" & drools on himself.

i'll buy the drooling part, but getting a woody would mean having the means to do so.

Actually,
there are about thirty cops assigned to the 911 center, cops who were promoted to dispatcher, who would not take the city's offer to go back to patrol and earn dispatchers pay (D-2). There was a grievance or lawsuit and they won the right to keep their jobs. Except that the city just went ahead and hired all civilians to take calls and dispatch calls, so these officers were assigned to .... hmmm..... they were assigned to ....., it's here somewhere..... Deputy O'Keefe, these people work for you, what are they assigned to do? Oh, ummm, Commander Lewin, these people are assigned to you, what are their assignment? C.L."I just sign their A&A sheets, someone at 911 supervises them. "Someone" turned out to be "Noone." They did their own sheets, assigned themselves their own shifts, days off, days working etc. AND guess what? They were ALWAYS ALWAYS available to work special employment ANY time it came up, why? because they could just change the A&As to reflect them being off work, or not, and do a double.
NOW, some ten years later, someone noticed that these people existed and that they actually had zero responsibilities. So NOW they are watching the pod cameras. Well, let's say that their heads are pointed in the direction of the pod cameras.
