    I wonder if they are related to these, at Albany and Union:



    "Operation ‪#‎SafeShopper‬ is my new partnership between the @NYPD and local ‪#‎civic‬ organizations, through which I am funding an innovative deployment of ‪#‎securitycamera‬ ‪#‎technology‬ to assist with the investigation of local crimes. I had an opportunity to see it firsthand with Rabbi Eli Cohen at Mr Clean It, a dry cleaning business in ‪#‎CrownHeights‬ taking part alongside establishments in ‪#‎Brownsville‬, ‪#‎ClintonHill‬, ‪#‎ConeyIsland‬, ‪#‎FortGreene‬, and ‪#‎ParkSlope‬. This is a smart way to advance our pursuits of ‪#‎justice‬ and ‪#‎crime‬ ‪#‎deterrence‬, all while promoting safer ‪#‎shopping‬experiences that boost local ‪#‎economic‬ activity."

    Maybe - but there aren't any stores at Crown and Schenectady.

    Eric Adams has stated he wants to be Mayor.   Unclear if he will run against DeBlasio.

    Returning the cameras, I believe it is legal to have cameras with mics mounted on private property.  No special permission or warning to the public required.

    The cameras are in the traffic light posts. I have pics but am unable to upload.

    They were too big in their orig size.   I made them smaller.   Brooklynian likes pics less than about 300k

    BTW, you may be seeing part of the 71st Pct's Shotspotter program.

    Here are the basics of Shotspotter:

    Talked to someone in the 71st Precinct Community Affairs Department. They are DOT issue cameras.  They were put up to conduct a survey of the intersection.

    So the mics would be used to measure noise, not record conversations?

    We may never know. They cameras were removed sometime during the night.

    Eric Adams is now having lots put up: 

    The Orthodox Jewish vote is a great one to capture..

    As I understand this program, businesses are given city funding to install cameras outside their stores.

    I assume it is cheaper than the city actually operating the cameras, and gives the city similar access to the recordings.

    Here's a recent crime caught on similar cameras.    



    More cameras would equal better coverage...
