No more blue light cameras. they don't work as advertised. Baltimore is going to follow chicago's lead again(where they picked up the blue
light idea in the first place) and install an even higher-tech super automated centralized system, where artificial intelligence is
supposed to be able to have the camera network itself detect crime. I'm sure the company that makes this system has just as good of a
marketing pitch as the one that sold the city the blue light specials.
Here's some info on Chicago's dreams of automated surveillance, presumably coming soon to Baltimore:

Coincidentally, according to the Sun article, the amount of money wasted on the blue light cameras is.....exactly 3 million dollars. I certainly haven't heard anyone camping out on the lawn of city hall for the past three days demanding that much money for anything useful....
