My money is on, the tiguere will be selling those camera on the black market

the tigueres will cover the camera lens before the shoot out

"si la montagna no va pa donde juanito, juanito va a la montagna....

Calle Conde is one of the safest streets in the capital with a good number of tourist police and these cameras are not needed there ..why not try the Duarte area above Mexico

Why not?

Because that would make sense. That's why not.

Y si se va la luz conho que lo que van a grabar pendejos carajo!!

Not so sure I welcome cameras.

With a police organization showing little effort for arresting crime and, in fact, exhibiting a disposition for participating in it due to high corruption and greed, I suppose this would only help identify high value targets to give coordinates to the "tigueres".

What about frequent blackouts? Would there be backup for this equipment?

Better check who is profiting from acquisition of this equipment. Check out supplier; chances are high he is connected to a senador, diputado or syndico, etc.

MJEV.

What a waste of money until we have a justice system to prosecute and the people manning the cameras aren't corrupt it is all a waste of time and money.

I wonder if anyone has actually seen any of these 400 cameras ..I keep my eyes open around town and I have seen none and as very few people report simple robberies in the streets I cannot imagine how a study could be conducted . In other cities they are put near automatic cash machines and near betting shops ...it will be interesting to keep looking out for these cameras which I am sure will have a short life .

This is just an excuse to bring a Big Brother government here to the Dominican Republic.

London is loaded with cameras and police and ultra-strict gun control, but England is the most violent country in all of Europe.

That's all make believe and window dressing.

I'd love to watch videos from hidden cameras in suite 1 of the Palace..

I wonder how many will be below the knees cameras to capture all the upskirts...:)

Santo Domingo, USA

dominicans on t.v. and newspapers in the states.
mr. ramirez has made the daily news in new york city. largest smack- trafficking ring in the bronx. $10 million he was busted with on sat. had a 9-mm beretta on him . he also tryed to flee the police and smashed his car into a state police vehicle. on feb.21st on 184st at 11.am. jose marte 16yold was shot dead as he was on his way to a baby shower. -- francisco solano a father of a 9 month old baby was gunned down on a bronx street he was carring a several bags of marijuana when he was slain, ---- the united states marshalls service has a t.v. show they had a 19y old dominican they where hunting down on a murder charge, they found him in washinton heights apt of his aunt.
the police show 1st 48 hours had a dominican guy called dominincano" they are hunting for on a homicide charge,
their in the past two weeks their was not one day did i not see the police -en volved case with out a dominican that envolved.,

I think is a good idea only if they had a good judicial system to prosecute those caught on camera committing a crime. Corruption will render the cameras obsolete and the bribes to erase the recorded activities will increase

so many times in the past two weeks i have read about dominicans invloled in drugs and murder cases,

a protest- demonstration for dignity in the dr. please.
a protest for education for the young.
the artery of shame has ruptured.

Boy I sure hope there is electricity when I am getting robbed so that the camera captures the culprit or that the thug didn't first break it by throwing rocks at it like the thugs that break the light bulbs at el Malecon.

Jokes aside (though they are not far from being a joke) It is a good initiative.

what a joke the police don't do anything when crime happens in front of their faces and from what i have seen the organization, education and motivation to operate such a high tech system is sorely lacking. the only winner in this one is the company that sold and installed the system *probably for much more than market value!*

If crime is that bad, then all power to it. it could hurt tourism hence economy if hold ups & such aren't fully eliminated. Does Jamaica & others in the Caribean region have enough criminal activity to warrant this type of surveillance? Is the Dominican capital the only one in the region with cameras? Does anyone in this panel know & can answer my questions? I'm just curious.

Hey Espada, good piece of information. I always thought US as the most violent nation in the world. I'm glad I'm wrong.
