Jim, with all due respect, you're confused. You know what a retail surveillance camera looks like? Have you been in a Target, or a Walmart? Look up at the ceiling, there are dozens of them.
Now, with that fixed in your mind, go look at the intersections I posted.
Look familiar? They are both CCTV systems.

These are traffic cameras to control the flow at the intersections. The police department has nothing to do with these and they are not "red light cameras."

Gay Cams I tell ya..Ever notice all the gays around town lately?

Mel, describe the camera you're referring to when you say "traffic camera".

We're not talking about the same thing.

There is an article in the independent regarding this camera. Alameda county has installed a camera to catch illegal dumping. Operated by motion detector Different from the traffic monitoring cameras in the city The city of livermore does not have monitoring cameras, but it appears that this one in the county is in fact used to catch illegal acts, specifically dumping.

Jim, there are more than a dozen of "monitoring cameras" in Livermore. By monitoring I assume you just mean video as opposed to still image. The other term for this is CCTV. Those are the cameras installed in the smoked glass domes at intersections around the city (list in this thread)

According to the Independent Newspaper today, the camera is motion activated to collect data on illegal activity - such as dumping debris. Sounds like a good idea to me. If I have to pay dump fees for sofas and mattresses, so should everyone else.
Whenever I pass a dump spot I always figure the people who chose to leave their trash there are just pigs.

Yah, they're pigs and slobs. They're like the taggers, people who think its okay to deface public property. While illegal dumping is still bereft of morals, it has a financial component to the motivation; there is none for tagging, its a more deliberate form of vandalism.

Both deserve harsh penalties.

The fine just for littering is $1000. So the fine for illegally dumping should be something far higher, and tagging should be far beyond that.

I'm thinking,$1000, 5000, and 10,0000.

I Hate to agree with ANON, but he's absolutely correct about the system, I installed some of them and the news covered it today 1-12-2012. A grant from homeland security provided funding for it. Police cars will be fitted as well and when it's up and running will provide real time video of the entire area.

Thanks, Not A Cop. Is it really that hard to agree with me? LOL.

This system has been in place for a long time, but oddly very few people are aware of it.
