Looking into it more, it seems that reality is even worse than I thought. Surveillance not only fails to decrease crime, but actually lead to an increase (article in German): https://www.bz-berlin.de/berlin/umland/straftaten-in-brandenburg-nur-in-video-bereichen-gestiegen https://www.bz-berlin.de/berlin/umland/straftaten-in-branden... Interesting. "Crime in Brandenburg increased ONLY in video-surveiled regions".

    Looks like police are saying there's an unrelated reason. From google translate: "The police explain this with fights among young immigrants who met in 2018 in the camera area. Now the situation has calmed down. There are no numbers."
