Also one thing that the government doesn't want you to know about the cameras is they are on ALL the time. They don't want people to know that because they don't want to be served with requests for other incidents. If you over tax the system and make it to where it cost them so much to have it then they will dump them. They keep the recording for 3 months

Ever take a closer look at the white polls on the corners downtown? They all have cameras that rotate 360* around and are on all the time. I bet there are at least 100 of them. Someone is always watching.

Ha, Lubbock is on the list. There was a huge stink out here when they put them up, and now the mayor and city council have completely changed their stories and have had them taken down.

I'm confused.

I was under the impression that Dallas does not pay the camera maintenance vendors enough to run every camera 24/7. I am just glad that they only flash at the motor-vehicles running through the intersection.
