The thing that bothers me about the whole story, apart from the deaths of course, is that we live in a surveillance state. While I want major crimes to be resolved and there to be deterrents to future ones, I just don't know about turning the whole US into East Germany. It's not going to work out well for any of us. As you can see, it didn't help solve the crimes, either. It was witnesses who did all the heavy lifting here.

- kittikitti 10mo agoThis is a good point and worth noting because we sacrifice so much for the supposed benefits.

If there was more high quality footage with a clearer resolution and full coverage to the time the suspect went to the car, then it would have been trivial to locate them without a witness.

- TiredOfLife 10mo agoIt's almost like the claim that you live in a surveillance state is hugely overblown.
