MTA's security camera's aren't working

From our HOLLAheroine Heather Haddon at AMNY:

"Down in the subway, big brother isn’t watching. Nearly half of the 4,313 security cameras installed in the subway aren’t working because they are unable to power up or are suffering from software glitches, the MTA said Sunday. The need to have more surveillance in the system is a priority for transit advocates as the MTA prepares to lay off 600 station agents in May."

Without security camera's -- the MTA doesn't have the tools it needs to protect New Yorkers. Although the police say that crimes are down in the subway, we know from experience that crimes against women and LGBTQ New Yorkers, most of which aren't counted in the MTA's crime stats because they are classified as misdemeanors, are at epidemic proportions.
