Will the 200 cameras now operating and recording on East Bay freeways help reduce crime?
Briefly

CHP closed Southbound 880 in Oakland after a shooting incident where a driver was targeted but unharmed. This highlights the ongoing need for enhanced safety measures in the city. With an understaffed police force, local leader Justin Berton emphasizes the importance of freeway cameras, which are now operational across various routes. However, some watchdogs question the effectiveness of surveillance in crime reduction and express concerns about privacy, revealing a divide in public opinion regarding these measures for safety and security.
"In Oakland, where you have an understaffed police department, and you are stretched thin on resources, you need all the help you can get." - Justin Berton
