Some years ago now I spent some time living in a particularly rough area in Glasgow and had a knife put to my throat in the middle of the afternoon for cash. My mate legged it and called the cops. They caught the guy because there were cameras up and he was known to them.

Still didn't stop me crapping my pants. Point is, cameras don't prevent crimes, they only help catch people after they've committed them.
