Whose are they? - This is not a Metropolitan Police Department "Neighborhood Camera" [1] ... although there is one of those up N. Cap a bit at the corner of K Street; - This is not a Metropolitan Police Department "Red Light Camera" [2] ... although there is already one of those at this intersection; - This is not one of those gray Capitol Hill cameras [3] whose antennae point towards the US Capitol Police Station. So whose are they? How long have they been up? Are they proliferating? ---- [1] Metropolitan Police Department: CCTV – Locations of Neighborhood Cameras.
