RE: Tampa using cameras to scan for wanted faces--
So, how extensive is the database? Just locals? If the person was never arrested, do they use DMV photos? http://www.baynews9.com/newsstory.asp?storyname=2001/June/30/ybor # # YBOR CAMERA FOLLOW UP # # Monday, July 2, 2001 In a follow up to a story we brought you # about new surveillance cameras in Ybor City, Bay News 9 would # like to apologize for an error in the on-line script. # # Police, using pole-mounted, remotely-controlled surveillance # cameras, can now scan crowds of people and feed their digital # images into a databank with the purpose of finding a match on # anyone with an outstanding arrest warrant. # # In our original report, Bay News 9 inaccurately reported that # the Visionics Corporation maintained the database. # # According to the company, the database is maintained by the # Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office and Tampa Police Department # and only contains images of those wanted on outstanding warrants. # # We apologize and regret the error. ---- Declan, how did you find the Tampa story?
