2,000 cameras to watch city
this is several months old, i just found it on my desktop here at imsc.
looks like there is a new reason to (not) move to chicago.
"Mayor Daley officially opened a new city operations center Tuesday that will include a dramatic increase in camera surveillance on Chicago’s streets. The new addition to the 9-1-1 center will help manage and coordinate in response to emergencies such as a terrorist attack...The new system also has the ability to instantly report the sound of gun shots within hearing distance of the microphones planned around the city." [emphasis mine]
