Neighborhood street cameras move one step closer to reality in Lansing, MI

This story from today's Lansing State Journal states that our city is moving one step closer to getting almost a dozen high-powered street cameras with the power to record action down below in high definition.

The Lansing City Council is expected to approve the cameras and they are expected to give their okay for a loan to purchase them. 

If the City Council fails to approve them, Mayor Virg Bernero says he will buy them anyway. 

This has all taken place without invited collaboration with city residents.

• Will the cameras make a difference?

• What about the other elements of the mayor's plan?  Does anybody remember what they are?
