The CCTVs in Chicago are 360 degree panning plus up/down, and can zoom-in four blocks away with enough resolution to make out a face and license plate. https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/09/29/chicago-police-cameras/#:~:text=At%20that%20corner%2C%20police%20had,up%20to%20four%20blocks%20away https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/09/29/chicago-police-cam....

- edm0nd 2y agoIt's Chicago and that's pretty normal there.
- smnrg 2y agoLol. Lines like this make it clear that anyone speaking about it has never actually lived in Chicago. They may own a big hotel, run for public office, or (here) they may link a source or two leveraging a couple of neighborhoods raising statistics. But they clearly never lived in, or know what it's like to live in, Chicago.
