I'm waiting for some folks here to come down and tell these people that they shouldn't be happy

These people are thrilled with surveillance cameras.

They must not understand that now "da goberment can know what ya doing, must not be free thinkas, like I am."



Project NOLA expanding outside Orleans

NEW ORLEANS, LA (WVUE) - The surveillance cameras went up just three weeks ago, and already people in the Hollygrove neighborhood notice the difference.

"We've seen a literal shift of crime from the one spot where it was a half a block away where we don't have cameras yet, and by the way, somebody there is now asking for cameras," says Kevin Brown.

The 40 cameras in Hollygrove are part of the ProjectNOLA system, and now the organization plans to expand even more, with cameras in neighborhoods outside Orleans Parish.

Executive Director Bryan Lagarde says requests to be part of ProjectNOLA came from across the region, from St. Tammany to St. Bernard parishes.

"What we're doing is the neighborhoods are going to elect a head for the crime camera system and that person is going to be pulling the video when the bad things happen in their area and providing it to the police, or should they wish, they can give direct access to their local law enforcement," says Lagarde.

The cameras can go up almost as soon as a neighborhood organization enrolls.
