Cops eye cameras for future policing

Here's a story I've been working on for some time. It seems LAPD is looking to install some cameras in strategic places throughout the Valley to help fight crime. The line of thought goes: With 468-square miles, nearly half of which is in the Valley, cameras can be at crime scenes even when cops can't. Funding to come through Councilmen Dennis Zine and Alarcon's offices. Meanwhile, the ACLU released a report in August critical of law enforcement's increased use of surveillance cameras in California.
