Houston Seeks to Expand Camera Surveillance Throughout the City
They're watching, and they want you to behave. The Houston Police Department said Monday it now uses cameras to snare red-light violators at 50 intersections. But catching traffic scofflaws on camera is just the beginning. The department also is pushing ahead with plans to install more than a dozen closed-circuit video cameras downtown and across Houston, hoping the devices can deter crime and illegal dumping.
