That’s what this ENTIRE conversation is about… the (ostensible) trade off between surveillance and security.
In the case of an attack, I’d wish for a gendarme not a recording that would let me relive the experience.
- JCattheATM 9mo agoRight, and I was saying it's wrong not to want surveillance in a super public area like a train station. A gendarme is worse in every way.
- jojomodding 9mo agoThe gendarme might actually arrest the attacker. The security camera will do nothing (but record). And having the policeman standing there is about as much a deterrent as a "Smile--You're Being Recorded" sign.
- JCattheATM 9mo ago> The gendarme might actually arrest the attacker. So might the cops we already have in such places. > The security camera will do nothing (but record). Exactly as intended. > And having the policeman standing there is about as much a deterrent as a "Smile--You're Being Recorded" sign. This seems like a weird thing to say. Cops are more of a deterrent than a gendarme.
