    15 years ago I worked interfacing camera systems to computers for security applications, for sensitive installations like nuclear power plants, in those days the cameras cost thousands, today with the cameras being tiny and costing pence, they are everywhere. We have 2 in the shop running back to a tv/recorder, total cost £150.

    You're right the motivation is not to prevent crime, but to record it, for ease of conviction later.

    Even though it's cheap, the facilities and employee's cost money. Why not just pile that money together and distribute it to the criminals?
    They could make crime ATM machines. "Gonna commit a crime? Stop by a crime ATM instead!"

    Ya know, ignore the problem to the max.

    I know of no distributor company that just drops at the door and runs.

    It works because crackheads get up late in the afternoon, and they can't do much with bread, milk and newspapers.
