"With varying technologies, many cities have demonstrated the effectiveness of safety cameras in reducing crime or catching criminals and terrorists; at the same time, it is true that other cameras have not been as successful. However, deferring to the least effective experiences of other municipalities is not good enough for our city. San Francisco must be aggressive in our pursuit to protect our communities by testing reasonable policing strategies and best practices of every design. "
