    Police want our help? They got our taxes and our liberty with the new police bill yet they could have already put up cameras, that is a school zone. Wow.

    You telling us you cant rewind the camera around those intersections nanny cay and pockwood pond to figure out which car or scooter was there at the time? But I forgot they placed cameras to watch people smoke weed and left the roads clear for the murderers to escape.

    Give me 64 cameras and they would be in position not like this security contract and funded police force. They are not serious. They want a police bill for more when they aren't doing as much as possible when they have the most funding for purchasing common sense items like road cameras around a school zone. If one of the kids got hit they would be asking for the public help...
