They tried the cameras in West Valley City here in the SLC area.
I don't remember the whole scenario but much of it was because
the charges from the company doing the surveillance and billing
were greater than the $$$ they were bringing in. There were
motorists who informed the city that they were shopping elsewhere
because of the program. I didn't write the city but just didn't go to
those stores. Now I'm out of the habit and still don't shop there.
