Police are looking at cameras to quell crime in places such as the 600 block of University Avenue, which has been the site of a handful of high-profile summer crimes. The American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin has asked Wray to define how the cameras would be used, said Stacy Harbaugh, a spokeswoman. "Unfortunately, cameras aren't going to go away," she said. "Once cameras get installed, they're very hard to take out. So it's really important that the rules are clear." There are already 34 cameras downtown, Harbaugh said. They include at least five visible ones high atop the 600 block of University.
