Updated camera equipment could soon give Fayetteville patrol the chance to travel through time.
"With the new cameras recording pre-event incidents," said Police Captain Fayetteville Brown Casey. "So if I am at a red light and a car blasted through it, he turns, I can turn to my [video mobile], and it will track the car for 30 seconds to two minutes."
Brown said the Police Department hopes Fayetteville equip all 28 patrol cars with digital video recorders. The request, he said, is listed as a consent to the agenda for Tuesday's City Council meeting.
Fayetteville police units are currently equipped with mobile video recorders, which require VHS tapes. The department purchased the 23 recording devices in 2003.
