Abstract:
Video camera usage by governmental and law enforcement agencies proves effective. In 1998, Charlotte mounted cameras at twenty intersections to catch red light violators. In the first year, over 27,000 tickets were issued. When a police officer was shot two years ago, Charlotte equipped all 450 patrol cars with cameras. Now Charlotte is putting cameras on school buses to catch those who ignore a stopped bus.
