Countries with extensive cctv networks still have lots of crime, almost like surveillance is the wrong answer to lowering crime or something
It's a good answer if you want to watch all the crime that's still happening
Until police selectively disables some cameras whenever it goes outside.
It's a good answer if your goal isn't actually to lower crime but you say it is so you can add buttloads of surveillance for data gathering
Honestly if we want crime to go down we should just stop reporting it.
How much good did it make in all these years before tv?
