Just a thought, does it feel strange that when shit goes down that the camera has technical issues? like the prison gaurd leaving his post at same time the camera had issues outside of Epstein "suicide" or when the camera had issues when the NY subway shooting occurred, or in this case the camera had issues when the alleged incident occurred, and it takes a month to manipulate footage to release to the public. All they have released is photos of people walking down the street, I could be wrong on that my eyesight isn't what it used to be, I wonder how many traffic cameras have issues when scanning you're car for blowing red lights, and how come news cameras stay functional during hurricane force wind and ice storms? Now I'll remove my tin foil hat for the day

The article says that the “issues” came from the vehicle being too far away from the camera to get a clear view. It happens.

Then what good are they? Perhaps they need an upgrade? Now I'm no cameraologist but I can see my own house from space using Google, what good are these cameras if they can't see across the street?

I’m a “cameraologist”. It’s impossible to get 4k video coverage of every square foot of New Haven streets. You have to pick your spots and your configuration. Cameras are configured for best “all purpose” use. For instance, you can optimize for moving cars and license plates by increasing shutter speed to reduce motion blur, but increased shutter speed means less light is hitting the sensor, which leads to darker, fuzzier video at night.

Oh I see, so lighting played a roll in the quality of footage? Any idea of why it has taken more than a month to "sift" through the footage before releasing to public

Just a guess. Cops are slow. Could be that white on Hispanic crimes are lower priority than vice-versa? 🤷‍♂️
