I am doubtful widespread recordings are making much of a change. Unless you are Luigi Mangione, are police actually following video footage trying to tie up a crime? Even with a city wide alert, he almost escaped.
It has been a common refrain that someone has an AirTag or other electronic surveillance they used to identify a thief, for which the police do nothing.
- qingcharles 1y agoThey actually do use the footage in a lot of cases. Bigger cities often have staff dedicated to just trying to extract raw footage from Temu-quality CCTV recording devices that most places own.
- permo-w 1y agothere's a major difference between an AirTag or tracking or some other form of relatively complex new-fangled technology that can be easily made to seem confusing or unreliable or even just inadmissible to a judge or jury, and high definition video evidence. if you're in a public place and there are a hundred video cameras, you're obviously going to be less inclined to do something illegal. this particularly being true for violent mob/gang activity
