You could have knocked me over with a feather.
As usual, I was running for the train when I saw a metal pipe-like structure attached to one of the wooden lamp posts. Imagine my surprise when at the end of the pipe I spied the unblinking eye of a camera.
Though I haven’t walked the platform to confirm it, there are probably cameras in plain sight of all four entrances to the station.
That suspicion was nearly confirmed as I looked across the way on the south bound platform and saw another camera pointing at its south entrance.
The scuttlebutt is that Metra in conjunction with Apostolic Church, had the cameras installed.
After all, the rapist still hasn’t been caught and the platform, stairwells and viaduct are extremely dark and isolated during the daytime much less at night.
While I welcome the cameras, I wonder if they’re monitored---If so, by whom? Dose this mean that they’re may be an emergency call box somewhere in our future?
If the scuttlebutt is true, it’s nice to see public and private entities working together to achieve a common goal.
Now I have to be careful if I have a “wardrobe malfunction” and go to correct the problem.
Unlike this crazy YouTube generation, there are just some things that just don’t need to be caught on camera
