New Orleans crime cameras get a name as groups plan surveillance expansion and residents speak out

The New Orleans City Council has introduced a resolution to formally name the ubiquitous red-and-blue flashing crime cameras mounted across New Orleans streets "Quality and Neighborhood Safety Cameras."

The resolution follows former Mayor Mitch Landrieu's sweeping public safety plans that called for dozens of cameras in designated "hotspots" and dotting intersections throughout the city. The administration ultimately abandoned*a potential network of hundreds of cameras outside bars and restaurants and feeding them into the city's centralized camera monitoring center.

But there remained a parallel surveillance network, one within nonprofit group ProjectNOLA's more than 2,200 cameras outside participating homes and businesses.
