Anyone who's following surveillance tech and policing in #MApoli might want to read this banger of a memo from Digital Fourth to the #SomervilleMA city council this week.

It's funny--every time I charge my car I look around to see if any local TV folks want my opinion about gas prices. Nobody ever asks....
