Context is important here. Before jumping to the obvious logical conclusion "Cameras in all the skies would prevent all the murders," remember how messed up a place like Juarez is: A murder happened in plain daylight. Home common would you suppose that is in other locales? And once it's known that cameras are in the sky, how many of the remaining murders would continue to take place outdoors?

This isn't preventing murders. They didn't even know a murder happened until after they found the body. Nobody was able to pick that up on the footage until after the fact. With that said, if you're doing a drug deal and don't want to be murdered, why would you do it indoors? Also, to murder someone indoors, you need access to a building, which really tends to limit the number of viable suspects (if it's a private place) or produce a lot of witnesses (if it's a public place.) The murder happened in an alley because nobody is watching the alley. There aren't a lot of indoor spaces that aren't being watched by someone.

  > With that said, if you're doing a drug deal and don't want to be murdered, why would you do it indoors? Because you also don't want to get arrested, and the presence of tech like this means you have every reason to assume it won't be long before the moment any of the people present gets tied to drug activity, they will start to go through recordings and tag anyone he's been in contact with in circumstances that look like they might be a drug deal. It's creating a situation where doing it outdoors does not just place you in jeopardy because of a specific deal, but potentially also because of any incidents tied to any deal any other people present have made or will make. > or produce a lot of witnesses (if it's a public place.) I find it bizarre that you assume an indoors location will inherently produce more witnesses than doing it outdoors. Consider a parking garage. I've been to plenty in major cities where finding a location that is free of people for a little while would be easy even in the middle of the day. Even so, even with witnesses, if the alternative is a few eye witnesses vs. an "all seeing" surveillance system in the sky that can track you for extended periods of time, it's not at all given that it wouldn't be preferably to be prepared to risk a few witnesses. Case in point: > The murder happened in an alley because nobody is watching the alley. The murder happened because they thought nobody is watching the alley. That doesn't mean there aren't plenty of other places suitable as well. So when that changes (the alley is being watched), the calculation as to which space is least risky changes too.
