Jesus, that makes it even worse. The only places I've heard that at is high-security corporate and military locations. Certainly not town squares.
- petercooper 18y agoIf you mean "on the spot" in its "at the scene of action" definition, then no, almost certainly not. I've not heard of that sort of CCTV monitoring in public. If you mean "on the spot" as in "at once, with no delay" then yeah, totally. That's really common in the UK and I support it as it's been shown to have positive effects on crime (often by pushing the crime elsewhere, sure).
- inerte 18y agoWhy does it make worse? You've said yourself, places where you want the security to be higher, they monitor on the spot. It's not like you're saying it doesn't work, right? Wrong?
- ashleyw 18y agoYep, they definably did in my town — cause they had massive speakers attached, and the people monitoring the cameras could (and did on many occasions which I witnessed) shout at people for littering and causing trouble.
