- bell-cot 2y agoBoasting in great detail about how they caught a bottom-tier expendable from some gang of criminals...that's usually not a sign that the police actually care about stopping the gang's "crimes".
- haliskerbas 2y agoAt least they didn’t kill an unarmed person in their own home. The bar is very low.
- alan-hn 2y agoBoth of these comments show the incredibly sad state of affairs when it comes to law enforcement worldwide
- squigz 2y agoWorldwide, or America?
- selimthegrim 2y agoYou might want to ask Manipuris or Kashmiris about that.
- gsky 2y agoIt's a made up story to scare the offenders. I would definitely do. Zero investment and has some positive impact.

- kumarvvr 2y agoThe article does say that they pin pointed the potential culprits to a few seats, followed through, waited for the culprit to repeat their act and then catch him red-cameraed. The method worked. Of course, it worked well most likely because the angle was extreme enough to narrow it down to a small set of seats. But it is also true that cammers would not dare to record it from a well vantaged location for the fear of being called out.
- kumarvvr 2y agoI guess in this case, the method has to be told to absolve the possibility of a mole or something like that. Also, if the public knows that one is not safe even if there are no CCTVs, then piracy may be reduced.
- blitzar 2y agoI am guessing someone forgot to give the police their usual taste of the action - once normal service resumes, normal service will resume.
- c0balt 2y agoOkay, note for the next time. Pick an empty viewing and place the camera on a seat somewhere distant from you.
- kumarvvr 2y agoIf the film is popular, there will be reasonably filled theaters anyway (India has a billion people) If the film is not popular, why bother. If you want to wait for the film to run through until the theaters are empty, why bother as it will definitely end up on some streaming platform, and someone will upload a 4k quality torrent.
- Havoc 2y agoI don't get the appeal of these Cams in the first place. If a movie is worthwhile watching do you really want to do so in washed out shaky low res with flat audio with some bonus popcorn munching noise?
- kotaKat 2y agoPeople will grab audio via assistive listening devices and patch 'em into recorders.
- benbristow 2y agoThey can spend the time figuring this out but do barely anything to stop the prevalence of scam call centres in the country. Money talks.
