- raxxorrax 7y agoCCTV doesn't help in democratic countries where crimes rates have been plumeting for the last decade. They do create a lot of dissidents though and rightly so in my opinion. If I would be in reach of a public surveillance camera, I would certainly try to sabotage it. Maybe roast the sensor because I happen to have a bright flashlight in my pocket. Damn, I guess I have become a criminal now...
- pinkfoot 7y ago> CCTV doesn't help in democratic countries A trivial search shows otherwise: 1.in the UK where the Russian operatives were caught in Salisbury trying to murder a real-life dissident 2. in the UK, where the police have dedicated units of 'super-recognisers' that review CCTV footage and solved many a crime.
