Surveillance cameras are used for two main purposes:
First: City/Municiple Money generator (Fines, speeding, red light violations) Billed and paid on-line, very little maneuvering to avoid a hefty fine.
Second: recording robbery, carjacking, drive by shooting, felony crimes many of which are repetitive crimes by the individual who will be released with no bail and no jail. Typically, inner city, young, black males with a significant arrest record.
Surveillance systems are prone to failure at Federal Corrections Facilities when Murder of High-Profile Sex Traffickers/Offenders occurs

LOL! Too true.
Such cameras are oracular: they can see into the future and then stop working at just the right time.

Just got out of the eye doctors office… he had a really nice model eye on a stand that I thot would be perfect for installing a small wireless camera in!

If that were the case the eyes would have it.

LOL! General Malaise, I have 2 Irish aunts who married Italians.

lol that’s a nice sentiment, but…
“Rome: Italy hosts the highest number of unofficial Chinese “police stations” out of a network of more than 100 around the world, a report by a Spanish civil rights group has claimed.”
My Yiayia (grandmother Gr.) was like that. She would sit on her patio in the dark waiting for the grand kids to get home from a party or where ever when they visited her. They would sneak in late (9pm village time. lol), turn on the light and see her sitting there. *gasp* LMAO.
She was gangsta! 🤣

MJA: My mother did that to me once right after I turned 18. I came in at about 2 AM. I turned out the light and I heard her say ” Turn it back on.” that’s when I got the “As long as you live under my roof” lecture.
In early 1967, my oldest brother was a junior at Lakes High School near Tacoma, Washington. on Friday night, he thought he would push his curfew. Meanwhile, my mother waited at home listening to the classical music station out of Seattle that got its news from its sister TV station. There was a story about three juniours from Lakes High School who had been killed in a car crash. to say my brother was in trouble when he got home is an understatement.
Red light cameras are illegal in Texas, but the city of Humble will still send out tickets because their contract with the company wasn’t yet expired. The city still sends out tickets, but people are told to ignore them — not by the city, of course.

When I was growing up in Philly I had an old Irish grandmother who lived next door to us. Mrs. O’Donnell never missed a damn thing we did, day OR night, and went straight to my parents with the last report on me. Damn… she never missed a trick. God Bless her wherever she is now.

It’s important for every drug addict to know that red light cameras contain at least $80-$100 worth of copper, silver alloy and platinum.

In 1933 my sixteen year old Uncle came down for breakfast. His Dad asked him what he had been doing out so late. “Drinking’ and gambling'” he replied. Grandpa grabbed ahold of him and frog marched him down to the Navy recruiter and said, “Sign him up! He thinks he’s a man!” My Uncle said it was the best thing ever happened to him. He retired as a CPO in 1954, homesteaded in Alaska and lived to see the 21st century as one of the last Veterans of the Yangtze River Patrol. I loved him.

My Grandma was born in Italy but immigrated to the USA (legally) as a teenager with her family.
Sweetest lady you would ever meet (just don’t piss her off…)
Man! Could she cook!

Nothing gets past an Italian grandmother.
Just don’t mix the Italian with the Irish.
BOOM!

Weirdly, my high school’s song was set to the same tune. Only those of us taking German seemed to know this. Bryan Adams Hail !!
Met my German grandmother on her only visit to the states in 1966 when I was 9. VERY scary woman. I get the same vibe from this photo.
