nucklehead Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 http://www.montrealgazette.com/news/crime/more+cameras+police+resources+combat+surrey+violence/11840120/story.html Quote Surrey will get 75 new street cameras and policing resources from around the Lower Mainland to combat rampant gun violence that’s resulted in 32 shootings so far this year. And Surrey RCMP will now be able to access another 330 traffic cameras 24 hours a day in the immediate aftermath of a shooting, Mayor Linda Hepner announced Friday. She said the after-hours access to the traffic cameras will aid investigators in identifying suspects in the shootings. “I, like all of you who live here in Surrey, am deeply concerned and offended by the reckless and dangerous acts that are being played out on our streets,” Hepner said. She pledged to Surrey voters fearful of the gunplay that the young drug dealers involved “will be caught.” “The resources that are being deployed are significant and substantial,” she sad.

Allows the RCMP to rewind the roll and try to capture a vehicle description, plate number, and possibly the number of occupants in the vehicle. Quicker. Cameras in Surrey are used for traffic control and at times determining who is at fault in a car accident (including pedestrian collisions). Instant camera access will not have much of an impact on reducing gun crime as RCMP have access during City Hall hours.

Bocivus Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 If only they made masks to cover up your face and things to cover up plates... If someone really wants to kill a person, they're going to do it. Welcome aboard the police-state, my friends up north! We have TONS of cameras down here in the states and as you can see we still have our fair share of gun violence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desiboynux4lifee******* Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Hang one Surrey jack or give him one death penalty and all these low life gangsters would disappear, and only the real hard ones would exist. WELCOME TO LIBERALISM. JT rather give them more guns then actually curing the issue, trust me these surrey jacks are cowards, hang one or give one the death penalty and its done. and one of these days these stupid jacks will shoot a innocent kid or something and maybe that will spark some outrage from a different community because believe me the Punjabi community is too working and not giving a damn (well why should they), and some of the FAMILY members who know the jacks, would rather protect there family members even though they know they are involved with these shootings. The police can't do anything with the laws in place because the families are too busy protecting these jacks. 1 more thing, vaiski is coming, and the only way this will stop if these jacks do unthinkable, it will spark the punjabi community because right now the police know the family members know there kids are messed up, but they refuse to to tell the cops.

Surprising Linda Hepner decided to do something other than getting botax Only if it goes to court or ticketing. But yeah, don't provide the RCMP with more funding for officers on the ground, or a gang task force, or IHIT. BC really needs to have it's own police force that the public can supervise. Like the old BC Provincial Police. From Wikipedia: Their general duties enforced fishing and hunting licences, providing customs and excise functions, livestock brand inspections, managed trap-line permits and dog licences, Vital Statistics and served civil court documents. They also functioned as Court prosecutors, jailers and prisoner escort and during the labour troubles in Vancouver during the Great Depression helped enforce martial law against strikers on Vancouver's troubled docks and evict protesters from the city's main post office. During that period, horses for the mounted squad were relocated from Vancouver Island to the Oakalla prison farm in Burnaby. At the time of its dissolution on 15 August 1950, the force consisted of 520 men and their budget was $2,250,000. The 492 members who stayed on were taken on as part of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's "E" Division, which has had the contract for provincial policing in BC ever since.

This is crazy. When you consider our gun regulations, and how much more difficult it is for Canadians to get those guns than Americans, this number could be compared to one of those big bad US cities and be close. For a Canadian city, 32 in 3 months is just damn crazy. So glad I live on the other side of the river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintPatrick33 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 You know what, if we only put cameras in the main streets, these evil terrorist gangsters will just resort to killing inside buildings. I think we should petition the Mayor to have a new by-law enacted where cameras are put into peoples homes. That way we can really be proactive, and in many cases arrest people before they commit a crime, because public safety is what it is all about! Thank god I live in a free and democratic country where our government ensures our safety, no matter what the cost of a few thousand cameras are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
