- Animats 9y agoIn the UK, if you're robbed can you go to a police station, see the video, and get the cops started on finding the robber?
- HillaryBriss 9y agoi don't know about that. i do know that some UK police departments have officers watching some public spaces in real time. they can sometimes recognize and intercept known offenders before a crime occurs. https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2008/may/06/ukcrime1 https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2008/may/06/ukcrime1
