Houston Police Chief Wants Surveillance Cameras in Private Homes

["Fergie" <fergdawg () netzero net>]

I've been sitting around waiting for years for this to come about,
and I knew it would, eventually.

As some of you may, or may not, know -- since Hurrican Katrina,
Houston has been dealing with a sharp spike in viloent crime and
has publicly attributed it to the spill-over of people who have
relocated there (or were relocated there involuntarily) from the
Southern U.S. Gulf states which were ravaged by the hurricanes. It
has been the topic of much media chatter here in Texas.

For your perusal: Via KTEN TV.

Houston's police chief is suggesting putting surveillance cameras in apartment complexes, downtown streets and even 
private homes.

Chief Harold Hurtt today said it's another way of combatting crime amid a shortage of officers.

Houston is dealing with too many police retirements, too few recruits and a population increase of about 150-thousand 
hurricane refugees.
