What I think might be helpful is to have a local 501(c)3 raise the money for a couple of cameras that can be installed on the outside of some willing businesses on Flatbush.

After three days of the same o'le, I kindly knocked on their window and asked them why they're not where the crime actually happens. I didn't get a response, they just told me that I should be on my way. By the time I made it back from dropping my son off at school, the car was gone.MadMommaCarmennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-27140893661369933262012-12-22T11:46:50.166-05:002012-12-22T11:46:50.166-05:00I am told from friends on Maple 2 that there's...I am told from friends on Maple 2 that there's a police car parked regularly on the block with 2 cops inside sitting and chatting and eating. Too bad they werent there when the shooting took place near Rogers but seriously, why are they just sitting there? And if they wanted to park and sit, wouldn't the corner of Maple and Flatbush be a much better choice? Im sure most would agree it is! A perfect example of wasted resources!

Apparently, when run together, theQatParkside@blogspot.com, translates (loosely) into Polish: "attractive young women seeking middle-aged chubby bald men for adventures." Thus the confusion.<br /><br />As for the cameras, I agree that technology suggests that one should be able to purchase cameras cheaply. But they must be maintained, monitored, data stored, impervious to weather, and ultimately, as with anything involving the NYPD or city unions, regulated, controlled and described in detail in the budget. To make matters worse, I'm sure a contract needs to be awarded, meaning multiple bids and procurement processes. The bias in government is clearly towards inertia...change or innovation is hard to come by, and always more expensive than you'd imagine.<br /><br />BUT nothing stops a private landlord or tenant from taking pictures from their property. Private cameras are used all the time in our precinct to apprehend criminals. I'm not advocating a camera in every pot, but if there's a known drug or crime location, there's nothing stopping you from taking pictures, provided you can stay out of harm's way of course.<br />Clarkson FlatBedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13463744536115119388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-80718341568952054962012-12-20T22:33:33.596-05:002012-12-20T22:33:33.596-05:00Translates as "Great post.

Or is the better question: how much political influence is needed?<br /><br />Thanks to the Q for pushing the petition. I wonder if there is any way to reach more people for the petition. Perhaps we could find some volunteers to get physical signatures at the Prospect Park and Parkside subway stops. I would be willing to volunteer some time.<br /><br />At least there seems to be a decent number of arrests for some of the cell phone snatchings. I hope people are heading the NYPD warnings to not walk around with your cell phone out. I understand that's the point of a cell phone but they are just too easy of a target and people are too distracted when using them.<br /><br />Was there any talk about additional cameras? It seems to make sense that the subway stops and Flatbush should be covered with them. The argument from the police that they are too expensive is just insane. You can find them online for a couple of hundred bucks. In addition they greatly expand the reach of the NYPD without the cost of extra officers. Visible cameras are a deterrent. If the cops won't act on it perhaps one of the nabe associations with a 501(c)3 can raise some money for a couple of cameras.

(I did not get a good look at them for identifying them if anybody wonders that.) And the NYPD doesn't think we need more visible police presence? Then why did those shooters feel so confident they could do that in broad sunny daylight in the middle of the afternoon and not get caught? This was the same way the woman was shot in the head on Flatbush here a few months ago. It was pure chance I myself wasn't shot in the head as I cleaned my sidewalk. Or my child wasn't shot as he played just inside the windows. It was only luck. We didn't avoid getting hit due to some choice I made, like not going out at night or whatever makes people feel more safe because they don't usually do that. I was standing outside my own home on the sidewalk in the middle of the day. Am I trying to scare people? With apologies, I am, because I don't want people to back down on this with the 71st. We clearly need more presence and more attention.
