Excerpt:

Cameras are everywhere around Pittsburgh Mills.

"They call them the LPRs, license plate reader cameras," Kuhns said.

The system patches the various retailers' surveillance cameras into the police department and they've been very effective when it comes to catching alleged shoplifters.

"We have a lot of people who come up there and they steal televisions, big flat screens, computers, electronic devices," he said.

But many times, these electric eyes reveal that in some cases, what's being stolen aren't big ticket items at all.

I support that, and even if you weren't disgusted by cops you're welcome here. I hope I haven't come across as trying to enforce some dogmatic orthodoxy as an admin, my intention is to provide an alternate lens on my post out of concern that no-one else has already given it.

As a threadiverse contributor, my goal is to post relevant and topical articles that inspire insightful discussion. I worry that my role as an admin puts people on a different footing when it comes to expressing their views - and that's not what I'm trying to do here. I have strong opinions, but with the exception of fascism, I'm supportive of sharing space with a broad spectrum of political stances. Thanks for your contribution to the discussion.
