Daley Caught in New Orleans

  • Mayor Ray Nagin this week brushed off criticism of the high cost of his administration's controversial crime camera program, arguing that problems are inevitable when you're blazing technological trails.

    "I want to remind the public that this is something that we pioneered," the mayor said when asked about reports of rampant overpayments to the contractors who supplied the cameras, which have been plagued by malfunctions. "When you do research and development and you pioneer things, you know, you're going to have some issues."

And the BIG local angle?
  • During an appearance on WVUE-TV, Nagin also said that at a recent meeting of U.S. mayors, he chatted about crime cameras with Chicago's Richard Daley: "I was just in Washington and Mayor Daley came up to me and he said, 'Look, I like these crime cameras you guys are doing in New Orleans. They're cheaper than hiring more police officers and we're going to do them in a big way in Chicago.' "
Welcome to the new Chicago Police model. More cameras. Less officers. Boots on the ground be damned. And the incident touted as justification for the millions spent on cameras?
  • ...The New York Times last month published a story about how Chicago's 911 system recently was linked with cameras across the city, allowing dispatchers to track criminal suspects based on information provided by callers.

    The new system helped authorities in December catch a thief who had filched the contents of a Salvation Army kettle, according to the story.

But where are all the murderers caught? Where are all the shootings prevented? What about all the open air drug markets shut down so the children of Englewood, Lawndale, Pilsen and Pullman can run barefoot in the park, flying kites and playing marbles?

Well, those children don't mean shit to Daley as long as his connected friends, aldercreatures and relatives make their buck off the taxpayers. The cameras have solved ZERO murders, prevented NOT ONE shooting and shut down NOT A SINGLE open air drug market. And we're still short almost 1,000 officers from the totals of 12 years ago and getting shorter every day.

A big thanks to Larry from NYPD Rant and John Northen for bringing this to our attention.

I just sent New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin an eMail referencing this blog site and the truth about Daley's "crime cameras."

Mayor Nagin:

Ask Daley if he has any positive results aside from the Salvation Army kettle caper.

Homicides and other forcible felonies? (Even though they occurred within range of Daley's cameras. NEGATIVE; a big waste of taxpayers' dollars.

Try them on Bourbon Street. At least you can view some magnificent racks.

08 mar 09, 0400-0500hrs, you are two pussies who refused to help out a fellow p/o, who was sober, and just had a brick thrown threw the window by some SD's,around Archer and Loomis, I guess that paper you were doing was more important. The p/o didn't make a formal complaint because you don't complain on other p/o's, so while you refused to take care of one of your own, you were taken care of...
No, I am not the officer I only saw the officer with a broken window and asked what happened , but I am in a position to exact some measure of departmental retribution, I guess you'll have to wait and see what the watch commander presents you with in the future.

We are down almsot 3,000 police officers and nothing is said by the FOP???

Officer Richard Francis died because of this officer shortage and nothing.

What will it take?

Daley only cares about his legacy and the 2016 Olympics, he is getting filthy rich with the cameras and loves when a copper i skilled. When a PO is murdered he can pretend to care and draw sympathy from the public.

Totally disgusting, enough is enough.

Anyone who lifts a finger for this corrupt and immoral department is insane.

Just so you all know...they are NOT linked to the dispatchers. Not one POD can be accesed by the dispatchers. Lies, lies, lies. I asked the dispatcher to bring up one of the cameras on on Halsted. Told me they dont have the police cameras avaialbe to them. The media in this town is tanking and one of the two papers will be bankrupt before the end of the year. Why? Because they are tools of daley...a prime example...and do no investgating or fact check on their own. The only new I can rely upon is from this blog. That is fucking sad.

the city just needs coppers to write reports and respond to emergencies. plenty of people writing tickets now who are not the police plus the red light cameras. the city doesn't want you to lock up anybody anymore. the city doesn't make any money when you catch pookie with his jab. the city knows that working police equals boku lawsuits, hence discourage real police work and promote revenue generation. seat belt, stop, doc, wolfpack, all designed to make money for the little emperor. lately i have been asking for an event number for a "pooch" mission which basically constitutes my 8 hour tour. ====>--

What about the mass murder that happen about two weeks ago right under the camera. They told the public yeah we are going to check the tape it should have the shooter. You never heard anything about it from Daley, because the camera was not working at the time. So guess what old fashion police work caught the shooter interviewing witnesses talking to people etc not the camera.

Cameras are a waste of time. Some idiot at headquarters is now trying to have an officer wasting 16 hours a day watching the pods in each district. I assume Daley needs to justify spending millions and millions of cash on these useless crime fighting tools. "Hey squad, give me an event # on POD #141 while i go to sleep."

The Feds are closing in on Daley.

Obama is distancing himself from the evil midget. National news are seeing that the aura is starting to come off the Messiah and that he to is a product of the corrupt Chicago-Illinois-Political Crime Machine.

Shortshanks is showing signs of the stress of knowing that the Feds are closing in. Who's taking to them, who is playing "Queen for a Day" with them.

There will be such a party on the day Daley is arrested. We can only pray that this day is soon and that his replacement is better.

(Ironic, but I finally added “Obama” and “Shortshanks” to my Spellchecker Dictionary when writing this. But then I suppose they do belong together.)

A little math. The city says it pays 15,000 per pod camera. Ill take their low ball figure at face value. Multiply that by the 989 cameras they have listed the total comes to $14,835,000. They have wasted close to 15 million dollars and these boxes of junk!!!! Let me ask you how many of these things are in your neighboorhood? Few, if any, becasue taxpayers dont need a camera to keep them safe. (They dont keep the non-taxpayers safe either). The point is that money could be used in the taxpayers neighborhoods for real infrastructer improvement like pothole repair, new street curbs, sidewalks, alleys, etc. Instead 15 million is dumped in shitty neighborhoods and result in zero return on the investment.

The city that works!!!!

Being short so many officers we all know the city is not going to hire what is needed

So lets use this in getting the raise that we deserve, lets say we agree to work under these conditions ONLY if we get the raise that we deserve...

5% not less than 4.5% per year for 4 years

Anything less than this is unacceptable (cost of living has been 4.7%)

If you dont want to hire more than adjust the budget accordingly and compensate the officers we do have for doing the extra work of the missing 3000 po's

Mayor Dick Daley has been budgeting the books for 13500 SWORN officers, what has he been doing with the cash that he has been saving??

Just an idea

SCC,

Daley loves the poor children in those neighborhoods you mentioned. He particularly likes it when the adults vote for him and support his pet Alderman.

Don't you realize those neighborhoods don't count?

The only neighborhoods that count are the ones where he and his family live. That would be Bridgeport, the south Loop, Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, Sauganash, and where ever his recently discharged from the Army Son Patrick(Fredo) lives.

Does Fredo have any new city contracts yet? He's been home a few months now. Maybe they will do a better job keeping any new city business Fredo gets quiet. That last contract he got for sewer cleaning caused quite a ruckus. Then the business went out of business. How convenient.

Oh well. Things are not all bad. At least Sheriff Tom Dart is trying to eliminate sex ads on Craigslist. The Lord knows that the biggest problem in this city, county and state is consensual sex and the exchange of cash. That sort of describes my first marriage. Except the sex part ended fairly quickly.

I informed Mr. Russell that upon research, he will essentially learn that Daley is full of shit (at the expense of taxpayers).

I also gave him the address of the SCC Web site and the fact that I had earlier sent an eMail to Ray Nagin's office.

The Daley Plan:

1. Hire hatchet man / fall guy to purge CPD. (Weiss)

2. Push rank and file so far into a corner they activate a "public action". (work stoppage which is against contract).

3. Weiss is to fire all involved, subsequently the FOP is sued and organization broken.

4. Hire new Po's at half the cost, no medical, contract, or rights.

5. Tell citizens GFY.

The plans is in effect and seems to be doing fine.

GFY, you cookoo bastards.

The CTA took a big bet on fuel prices this year, and so far is losing big. The transit agency, facing a budget shortfall of $242 million, is paying $3.80 on average per gallon for diesel fuel -- 66 percent higher than the market rate of about $2.29. The entire $102.8 million fuel budget in terms of gallons is hedged -- meaning the CTA locked in prices ahead of time.

Who is watching the cameras ? If they are retired PO s how many of them have hd relevant street experience in the last 5 years ? When was th elast time any of those camera watchers attended narcotics court? Made narcotics arrest? Made a gun arrest, or even worked a beat car in the district where the camers are located so MAYBE they know the players and know the game in that district ? its all BULL SHIT no training for the camera watchers, no empeical data on camera effectiveness( they really are not) just a PR Tool . Good for post event rebuilding a crime scene and getting maybe? a llok at the offenders car, or back of their head. MEDIA wake up do your research. In London and Madrid they got great pictures of the bombers after the explosions and identified what they looked like after they blew themselves up. NEVER STOPPED A CRIME. Nothing replaces a well trained, motivated and supported patrol officer. City domestic terrorist Timothy McVeigh caught on a routine trffic stop in possession of a firearm after he was arrested for simple traffic ( Motivated Oaklahoma Trooper ) who paid attention to the news reports and put the two known facts together after the explosion, no help from a camera just an an intelligent hard working police officer. BOOTS ON THE GROUND. I dare the media who read this blog to ask the administration for data on number of hours spent watching cameras, the number of calls dispateched directly from suspicious activity observed on cameras , and the number of guns recovered, drug arrests made versus the man hours spent watching those useless fucking PODS. Figure it out people the dope dealers go around the corner into the alley to sell the bags.

MEDIA check it out do an expose maybe win an award.

Folks,
The scumbags have figured out that:
1. Cameras don't see through walls.
2. Don't come down off the streetpoles and apprehend you till the Police show up.
3. Aren't clear enough to positivley identify squat.
4. No one's watching shit on the other end.

"A Blue 4Door possible Xmake-Y model was caught on camera leaving the scene."
Yeah, in a City with hundreds of thousands of vehicles on our streets. We'll find it for sure.

It's obvious many of them are just "Dummy Cameras". Hollow enclosures with a pretty flashing blue light.

When a major crime occures near one of these (As a previous post stated)it happens to,"not have been working at the time."

See, it's not a lie. It just never worked in the first place!!!
Of course this fact is classified info because to divulge it in any way would destroy the entire program as the multimillion Deterrent it isn't.

If the Media had any speck of credibility, they'd be asking:
A. Why wasn't it working?
B. Why wasn't it known BEFORE the Crime that it wasn't working?
C. How long had it been malfunctioning BEFORE the Crime occured.
D. Why wasn't it repaired BEFORE the crime?

No, instead they'll just keep informing us on who's still in the running on American Idol and Dancing with the Stars.
And the SHEEP will continue to eat it, just happy that they're being fed.

MegaDeth lyrics fit too well and should be Daley's Theme Song:

Sorry, SCC, you're wrong when you say cameras have not prevented
a single shooting. I was driving near 35th & Michigan a few weeks ago, about 1430 hours, when the doors to a large building opened and a large group of people who could have been in the Star Wars bar scene began sneaking out. A more syphllitic bunch of degenerates cannot be imagined; some were even impersonating police officers.
I was already cranky because of the traffic, and decided to do a public service and snuff a few of them.
As I eased my Model 92 out from under the seat, I noticed a camera attached to a pole, and it was pointed at my license plate. Frightened, I sped away w/o firing any shots. Two weeks later, I opened my mail and found a ticket for running a red light. But, that camera saved someone from being shot. Deny that if you can!

Absolutely! Ask yourself about the angry watch commanders whenever they are required to do paper on one of your incidents.
Moral: if you do nothing then the WC doesn't have to do a thing and he gets to go home after 6.5 hours.
Everyone is happy. Really!

Give it some thought next time you feel like doing police work; then pause and give it some more thought. A lot more thought.

Have lunch and think some more about the effects of doing police work; think hard.
Look in your fop book and count the days until the 1st or the

United Kingdom: The myth of perpetual surveillance
David Aaronovitch
London Times

We’ve all heard the statistic, said David Aaronovitch. Everyone knows that Britain has so many surveillance cameras that each of us is captured on video 300 times a day. That factoid was first reported on the BBC website in 2002. It quickly went viral, appearing in just about every subsequent news story and blog post about the “erosion of liberty” in our “surveillance society.” As it happens, however, the number is a pure fabrication. The study cited by the BBC used the 300 figure only once, in referencing yet another work. If you track down the original source, you find it presents a hypothetical day-in-the-life scenario, in which one fictional man going about his business in London passes by 300 cameras. The fictional man’s fictional day, however, is by no means typical. “He manages to visit two schools, the maternity wing of a hospital, goes to work, shops, is caught speeding in his car, crosses a level-crossing, parks in several car parks before switching to public transport.” He visits Heathrow Airport, then goes to a soccer game. That, then, is the source of the famous 300 statistic—a wildly unlikely scenario. Yet we journalists have repeated it “a zillion” times. Yes, a zillion. But don’t quote me on that.

Did Jay Levine, on the channel 2 news at 10pm, just do a short piece on the shortage on manpower on the streets, the uselessness of the 'blue light' cameras, and refer to a web blog as the source of both elements to his story?

And end with speaking words to the effect that, if both realities aren't addressed, '...the shooting will just continue.'?

The only reaso charges were approved... it was all caught on film. recorded from club, street and squad car cameras, otherwise it never would have been approved. And after all the film record A S As still tried not to approve charges. Imagine that!!

I know video is a sore subject with some of us, including me. However we are stuck with it so we have to use it to our advantage. Like the poster said the S/A would not have approved charges unless it was on tape. The CCSA office goes out of their way to deny charges. Now we have a tool to show them and the public how these animals act. Sure there will be a small group who supports them no matter what. Kind of like PETA. But those who are on the fence or even those who hate us (Obama voters) are stuck with the facts on the video. Be smart people, use the camera to your advantage.

Those cameras are useless. There have been shootings caught on tape in 011 and you can barely identify the type of vehicle he was driving let alone the shooter. What's the point? On afternoons when the district is backlog from start to finish they have the balls to call down from OEMC to say people are drinking at Homan and Walnut. And they assign the job to a car. No shit people are drinking at homan and walnut. They have nothing else to do. The camera has been there long enough for them to know nothing it's for show.

1st of all nimrod, if you had read the story it said I over heard the incident and the office involved didn't want any action taken.
2nd the officer was on their way home from work, after a late arrest, and did tell them she was the police.
So get off your mommas tit and start paying attention, the sky is falling chicken little and its because of stunads like you, oh but thx for you input

3/09/2009 05:01:00 PM

OR

Hate to admit it, but but that is what happened ... The officers knew she was an off duty ... but said they had a paper job ... so they blew her off ... that is what is sad ... she was out for her birthday and she does not drink ... and so it goes S/D's win and Cops lose ... you two know who you are and should be ashamed of yourselves ... to the cops who did the report ... thanks ...

Not that it matters, but were they coming home from a late arrest or out celebrating a birthday??? You lose your message when you just start throwing made-up facts out there. Just leave it at they should have helped. If there were two coppers in the car on-duty, one could finish the report they were on and the other could bust out the paper for the off-duty cop.

Why yes mr/ms reporter. I'm sure the officers involved have some information. They sure wouldn't be dumb enough to post anything while the case in ongoing. You'll just have to look up the docket and check out what happens in court for yourself.

On the ABC-7 10 o'clock news, there was a report on a job fair for veterans held at 725 w. Roosevelt, showing a 2-table display and an officer from the CPD. WTF are they there for if we aren't hiring anyway??!!

There is a unit that looks for recruits... Maybe they should send that unit to answer calls on the street since we aren't hiring... just a common sense thought....

off topic guy's -- A very loud rumor has it that the First Deputy Fire Commissioner Lester Noy was removed from office today(Monday March 10,2009)by the US Dept. of Justice. On ongoing investigation into copies of Fire dept. promotional exams being given out to members of the black church and shared with the City's chosen folks for the last couple of years. How do you think these honor student's landed high on the list, surely not for their brains.

C'mon now this is a conservative site, we hate liberals and democrats, they're the whole reason this city is so f****d up. It's a one party city full of appointee suck ass alderman and a police hater mayor who doesn't have the mental cpapacity to run the city without turning it into a lucrative criminal enterprise for the chosen few. Democrats=A party created by keeping the poor in poverty so as to always have a voting block. It's a brillant idea from a criminal mind. If you keep on giving people something for nothing what will they become but nothing.

08 mar 09, 0400-0500hrs, you are two pussies who refused to help out a fellow p/o, who was sober, and just had a brick thrown threw the window by some SD's,around Archer and Loomis, I guess that paper you were doing was more important.

Now that your "friend" is sober, have her make that complaint. Why didn't she call 911 at the time? Sober? Not quite...sober people stick around and get a report for this kind of shit. if these two officers you refer to were actually doing something wrong, Ms. Off-Duty Thang calls for a paper car and a supv. Unfortunately, with her attitude and sobriety, she'd be in call-back if she made that 911 call and all would know who SHE is, punkass.

And we're supposed to be thankful you're posting your bullshit rant? Next time, have your off-duty girlfriend sleep it off and then tell your wife, she'll know what to do next.

so I read all entries about the po from 008's problem with the po's from 009 and all who blogged in support of the 008 dist po need to figure out what story you want to believe. Was she at a birthday party for herself and she doesnt drink or was she coming home from a late arrest. Its impossible to have a late arrest @0500 hrs when she's assigned to midnights. 0500 hrs is in the middle of her tour you ass kissers. Also why do you have to keep mentioning that she was sober? We all know that when you do that is to hide the fact that she was probably 3 sheets to the wind. I work in 010 on 1st watch and if she wanted to be ignorant and beef, I would have just 501'd her ass. I piss on her and her 2 yrs. You can probably count her arrests on one hand. This broad better be gorgeous for so many of you to believe her bullshit story. I had the chance to talk to some 009 officers at the gas pumps and what I heard was that this po is on a 1st name basis with the shit heads that broke her window. hey 008, maybe you should do a check on the girl who works with you. Sounds like she's a piece of shit herself. Hey 009, 010 supports you.

I happen to work in 009 and to personally know this officer that works in 008. She did not call 911 because she did not have a working cell phone. Yes she was coming from her own birthday celebration and was unarmed.I also happen to know for a fact that she does not drink. She had stopped at a red light when a group of SD's started throwing gang signs at her and threw a brick through her car window. The SD's remained on scene and that is y she did want immediate attention. The incident had just occured so she asked the officers from 009 to take a drive to the location of the accident since the offenders had remained on scene. The officer never asked for them to do paper since we all know it is cheaper to replace the window yourself then to do an insurance claim. These officers in 009 took it upon themselves to ask for a paper car to cover there own asses. I also know the person that they were doing the paper for (son of a dispatcher and grandson of a crossing guard) who's girlfriend had fled the scene after breaking out his windows. I guess paper is more important to some than a possible late arrest. Yes she did mention names of possible offenders and not because she is a piece of shit but because she has always lived in the neighborhood and pays attention to what goes on around her.
The funny thing is that while people are talking shit about her they have no clue who she is.
I noticed the officers broken car window and the cut above her eye at a gas station so I put it together. She not once bad mouth any officers in 009 and said she was just glad no one was hurt and refused to say who the officers in 009 are or their beat. She also stated that she did not want to get anyone in trouble for a decision they made because noone was hurt and a window can just be replaced. Officers in 008 already knew about the incident not from her but from someone in 009.
For the officers in 009 that refused to help a fellow PO - I know who you are and be sure that although now I know you are dog asses I will always back up PO's in need of assistance.

Ok, My 2yr wonder on midnights in 010 (and I'm sure your not a veteran working that shift) You seem to have so much anger and opinion on something and someone you have no idea about. She might have two years on the job but she is a better person than you. Oh and if you "piss on her and her 2 yrs" Then I'm assuming that you have more than two years on the job....so you should have more arrests than her, duh. I'd like for you to meet her so that you can see for yourself that in fact she is one of the very few on this job who doesn't drink and is harmless....why is that mentioned all the time here? cause most of "you" can't believe it. So, if you will like to hear her side of the story maybe get to know a person who wouldn't hurt a fly, let alone another P.O., (not everyone is ready to throw a fellow P.O. under the bus like you idiots) let me know. All this idiotic shit questions....she was out at 0500hrs and not drunk? she knew the SD's by name? she didn't identify herself....wtf, there were shit bags on a corner and were throwing bricks to cars....are you kidding me? who cares about the rest? Even if it wasn't known about her P.O status? But the FACT is that she did say she was the police...and you 009th distcrict officers that didn't help her are idiots. The P.O.'s in 009, someone here said that "she never said she was a P.O" well there you go smart ass 010 ranger, they just admitted they did shit.... I used to work in 009 and I have helped out families of P.O's who live in 008 and P.O.'s who live in 008.So, 010 ranger, if you don't take my offer then I say piss on you and your 2 1/2 years and I will put my activity/arrests/DC's/etc up against yours anytime. Hope to see you soon.

So...if your 6-3 tour is from 2100 to 0530hrs, and you have a late arrest at 0500hrs, how can you be processing the arrest in 008 AND on view SDs breaking out the window of your personal car at 0400-0500hrs whilst cumming from a b-day partay around Archer/Throop? Oh yes, that's right! If you work in 008 it IS possible to be in two places at once. I'll try to get the shit straight next time. Sorry.
