camers high tech, low tech

low tech,
This file picture from last year shows a low tech fingerprint collection. The collection is going on within 50 feet of new red light cameras installed with new street lights. The crooks had pushed the safe out of the building and abandoned it in the middle of the night. And sidewalk. Low tech criminals involved? They may have tought that with all the debit and credit card transactions their heavy labour may not have been worth the effort or risk.
The low tech policing in front of the new cameras seems exaggerated. To any that care. Since the Province had begun a pilot project in 5 communities to see if cameras in downtown cores relived the crime rate, and here was not one of them.
No one caught as yet ,that we are aware of; one might wonder how much time the police are spending.
The new coalition government in England has recently promised to oust camera surveillance to some degree there. A good balance to the artificial creation of life in the papers, reported by the Vancouver Sun. Life from DNA recipes activated from recipes stored in researchers computers.
The curse of” may you live in interesting times” seems is getting more and more credibility.

Update : The CBC is reporting that there was a verdict of not criminally responsable. Meaning that when the murder happened the accused was delusional and did not understand right from wrong. This according to a judge is on a balance of probabilities a less strict standard then reasonable doubt required for criminal conviction.

We regret this as we believe that the presumptions need always to go to the innocents.. as it did in the Latimer case in Saskatchewan, we hope for an appeal by the crown after a mental review board s findings are published.
