An Interresting Precedent
Ok, Now that I've decided to really do this, I did a web search for "crack dealer camera" and found an interesting precedent. A guy decided to put a webcam in his window in 2001. By a strange coincidence, he lived in San Francisco. By a REALLY strange coincidence, he lived less than a block away from me.
Check it out in the news here.
And look at some of his shots here.

Crack City... the first post.
Ok, so i had a vision the other day...
I live in an urban neighborhood in California. To say we have a drug problem in this city is putting it mildly. What's most frustrating about it is how the cops would rather make double-bullshit overtime watching parades on Saturday than EVER bust a single crack or crank or heroin dealer.
Hey, I'm not talking about bustin' the mayor for smokin' a doobie after a tough meeting with the business community. I'm talking about serious shit here.
I'm talking about jaded vampire assholes convincing high school kids to sell mentally ill ex-cons ROCK till they get so addicted they break into my car to steal the damn cigarette lighter and a yellow newspaper. I'm talking about tubercular homeless speed-freaks with no teeth spitting on the street I have to walk on. It's ugly out there, in case you haven't noticed.
So here's a clue to all you damn lazy cops and district attorneys-- we will do half your job for you. were gonna set up webcams on as many crack infested corners as we can. Maybe we can get some media attention. Maybe we can shame you into doing your job by showing how easy it is to see it happening. Probably not. But it'll be good for a laugh or two anyway, between the damn tears.
