The Associated Press reports,
“HOUSTON Houston’s police chief is suggesting putting surveillance cameras in apartment complexes, downtown streets and even private homes.”
“Chief Harold Hurtt today said it’s another way of combatting crime amid a shortage of officers. [..]
In the meantime, Homeland Security grants are being used to blanket major cities and even small sleepy communities with arsenals of spy cameras.’
