In the interest of preserving journalistic wholeness all around , I must tell you that my friend Noah Shactman offer to do something very intriguing to my indulgent tissues if I link up his in - profoundness unmasking on Chicago ’s tv camera - crank up police force . Fortunately ( or regrettably ) , Noah also has the ability to make me squirm using ‘ words , ’ detail the 30 - television camera connection currently used by police to supervise ( and potentially lead the stay of ) people on the streets doing suspicious thing . It ’s a pilot - program police state , but it ’s gone so well — murders are way down — that Chicago police need to bump the 30 photographic camera internet to over two thousand photographic camera .
It ’s not all black and white , though — in fact , it ’s mostly black , with study show the Chicago course of study tends to point young , black male person at a far more frequent rate than it targets white . Wherever you put up on the emergence , it ’s a upright read . These cameras are only going to be cheap and more mobile in our future .
