The black box on each stop light that appears to look like a camera is a motion sensor/detector. They are not cameras.
Let’s hope a witness comes forward or a resident door ring camera caught something from homes/apartments at that intersection. If lucky, maybe the businesses off I or J caught vehicle going southbound during time frame.

We are short handed out here. But yhea…cameras everywhere….
Hard Candy says
This should be an easy case for the police….THERE’S 880,000, YES EIGHT HUNDRED & EIGHTY THOUSAND CAMERA INSTALLED ON EVERY LIGHT POLE, TRAFFIC LIGHT, SIGNAL, ETC. Lancaster has so many cameras running 24/7. If they even try to say that those cameras weren’t working, that would be ridiculous….there’s several more to look at. They can’t all be ‘not working’…. I mean why install all those street cameras if they don’t even work? Not to mention all the RING cameras/security cameras owned by residents nearby. C’mon now, what’s really going on here…?? Why were other cops from different cities called in??
Tim Scott says
Working does not mean there is recorded footage being kept. Traffic light cameras are real time feeds to the control circuitry of the lights, but there is no server farm the size of a small planet storing the terrabytes of data they would produce every second. There are a lot of cameras recording, but traffic cams aren’t them.
CBA says
Tim only half way knows what he’s talking about on this one..
But close enough for city work
???? says
You realize those cameras don’t record anything right. Just used to change traffic signals
LEO’s sister says
What are you trying to imply?
Jayy says
Ring cameras don’t capture everything. Motion activated. And it never gets the important stuff. The killing on beech last week. There’s camera at almost every house there and nothing was captured but the aftermath was.
