[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Car was recently stolen in DC. I was very happy as it had LOJACK. However, it turns out that MPD does not employ the LOJACK detectors.

So I contacted LOJACK and they were able to provide the general area of the car, but the police were not interested and as stated above, they don't have the readers anyway.

The city uses over 140 traffic cameras to read license plates for issuing tickets. NOT ONE of them is capable of reading the license plate and alerting police to a stolen vehicle. NOT ONE.

Of the 400 additional cameras the Mayor is purchasing, NOT ONE will be linked into any sort of auto crime prevention TF. DC wants you to simply call your insurance company.[/quote]

The purpose of traffic cameras is revenue generation. [/quote]

True, but if we were smart enough and determined to do so, we could use the cameras for additional purposes. [/quote]
The cameras are installed and operated under contract with a third party company who the District shares ticket revenue with. [/quote]
