I'm not sure someone intent on burning a person to death in public is going to be very deterred by the knowledge that cameras are recording their acts.

- SoftTalker 2y agoIn fact they may encourage him.
- cowhow 2y agoI don't have stats, but I strongly suspect the set of NYC people aiming to burn others to death in public (and ruin their own lives in the process) is quite small. The presence of cameras is almost certainly a net positive for reducing crime
- saghm 2y agoYes, and the presence of cameras would presumably mean that if the parent commenter's prediction comes true, the crime rate would go down even more as crimes of opportunity vanish and crimes from people who are disturbed enough to do things like that are still quite rare.
