craigt3365 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Don't the police or other government officials own many of the late-night venues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FolkGuitar Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 " At the meeting, participants were briefed about relevant laws and how to efficiently install security cameras. " QUESTION: Do you feel safer when you see security cameras? I'm not clear about just how installing security cameras make someone safe... Obviously they make the job of finding the culprit easier AFTER committing a crime, but based on the hundreds of thousands of YouTube videos of crimes in progress, Criminals don't seem to care that there are security cameras everywhere. It doesn't seem to a deterrent... It also seems that most crimes against tourists are 'spur of the moment' actions, rather than premeditated, planned-out criminal activities. Perhaps having a camera might deter a premeditated crime against an establishment, it certainly doesn't stop the pick-pockets at the airports or train stations who are preying upon the tourists. Plenty of cameras in those places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
