What is happening in places like Detroit and elsewhere should raise red-flags in the mass media but as you can see from the video they are embracing it.
Last year police in Detroit, Michigan asked businesses to install real-time surveillance cameras that are connected to police departments.
Which isnt all that bad, right?
Wrong.
Oh, the author did mention in the article that Detroit has the highest murder and violent crime rate of any major city in the country, according to the FBI. The FBI has released numbers show violent crime in Detroit has spiked more than 15 percent in 2016. The numbers show 13,700 violent crimes which include murder, rape, assault, and robbery. The author didnt mention that? Hmmm ...
What the author did say is that he is deciding what is not good for business owners in Detroit when he should be allowing the business owners to be the ones that decide if this is wrong. Some lone individual wishing the world to know him as MassPrivateI should not be deciding what is good and bad in Detroit when I will give odds that he doesnt even live there
The author did not say that most of these businesses want to protect their property and around 75 percent of businesses impacted by the requirements are already in compliance. The author didnt mention this? Hmmm ...
The author did mention that the idea for the cameras in all the specified stores came about after the murders of two late night party store owners were solved with the help of surveillance video. The author didnt mention this? Hmmm ...
The author left our some IMPORTANT FACTS when he said:
Businesses in the Green Light project get extra patrols from Detroit Police Department officers who stop in to sign a log book, documenting the visit. Startup costs for getting the surveillance cameras installed ranges between $1,000 and $6,000, with monthly costs for cloud storage of the video starting at around $140.
The correct information the author should have presents is:
Until now, businesses had to pay $4,000 to $6,000 to install the cameras, an up-front cost that kept many businesses from participating in the program, Mayor Mike Duggan said. Now, Comcast has a new plan in which the cable and Internet provider will install the cameras and necessary equipment for $1,000, with businesses paying about $140 a month for the service, including 30 days of storage of video from every camera at a business.
See the real difference in presenting partial information to influence opinions and sway people....and presenting completely factual information makes. It makes $3,000 to $5,000 difference here.
The author did mention that the expansion of the program is crucial because it has led to a 50% reduction in violent crime at stores, gas stations and other businesses that have installed them. The author didnt mention that? Hmmm ...
I could go on and on, but I have done enough damage to this article to destroy its creditability so I will stop here.
Move along folks, theres nothing of importance in the article here ...
