A large number of data are produced from those cameras but their practical value for detaining burglars or other criminals remains intransparent in this article. A follow-up in a few months seems highly desirable.

A whole year's data exposed to suspicious, and possibly corrupt, intrusions?
All for AN arrest? Maybe? Someday? That they probably would have got anyway?
Who supported this big government clusterwhat?

These cameras keep us SAFE! What more can we ask for. Catch the criminals and LOCK THEM UP, we are far too lenient!! I go around every day and drive around looking for suspicious people and calling sheriff, as a community we need to do our part but the cameras are a great starting point

Despite any evidence proving that?
> I go around every day and drive around looking for suspicious people...

You have no expectation of privacy when your driving around in public...

lil' wayne is apparently a straw man. Is there anywhere in the article where someone is claiming privacy concerns in public? Please don't confuse the difference between privacy in public space vs privacy of data and good data handling policies. Or apparently in this case, lack-thereof.
Care to talk about the waste of tax dollars?

same old shrill nonsense as always. Clearly the LPR's don't do anything to keep you safe.
