Impact analysis
Residents question recurring subscription costs for the camera network while services like twice-a-week trash collection remain unfunded.
Supporters say the cameras help solve crimes quickly, as in the St. Lucie West homicide case solved in under 48 hours.
Critics argue every driver's movements are logged and that errors and misuse have led to innocent people being detained.
