  Unworkable, my point was people with bad intentions circumvent these systems. It's also a mystery why media release of surveillance footage of high importance areas appear to have been shot on mediocre quality old technology when so much is spent on the equipment. https://youtu.be/BR1s7az-f-k https://youtu.be/BR1s7az-f-k

    I'm in general against mass surveillance (on privacy and potential for abuse grounds), but that a measure is not perfect and can be worked around with some skill and motivation is not a good argument against it on its own. It is possible for an imperfect system to increase minimum level of motivation sufficiently to reduce incidence significantly. Same as in cyber security -- that you have no chance against a state level actor doesn't mean you shouldn't use good passwords and 2fa on your accounts. Because for some criminals effort becomes just not worth potential gain.

    At about the seven second mark in that video you'll briefly see the full shot that the camera is taking.
