Inspired by camera measures in Chicago, London and Houston. Sadly, there wasn't enough room to include the punchline...
The mayor grimaced at the camera, rubbing his backside. "Hello to all the citizens of our fair city," he said. "I'd like a moment of your time." "We're all aware of my campaign to put a camera on every streetcorner, but City Council decided not to adequately fund the necessary staff to monitor these cameras." For a moment, the attack came back to his memory. A camera panning to his battered body. Then wagging a bit. The motors sounded like laughter. "Using prison labor to monitor them and dispatch officers was a mistake," he said. "One that we're correcting soon."
The punchline really is: "We expect significantly improved results when we outsource the responsibility to Bangalore."
