Note to self:
In future recess when installing all outdoor cams as to make them harder to spot.
No, because thieves who aren't total idiots will move on when they see a camera.
One of the issues brought in the video is that people are unaware of the cameras (bullshit) and unable to consent to being photographed (also bullshit, since there is no expectation of privacy when out in public).
Yes. Further update. Put up fake ones to scare away potential thieves as well.
Yes, I've seen those. They even have fake ones with lights. LOL
But real ones can really help if some nonsense happens on your street.
Both. Hide real ones, leave out fake ones to be seen.
If that were true, we wouldn't be seeing a constant stream of camera footage of porch pirates on news channels, media outlets and social media. The reality is that opportunistic thieves don't care anymore. Policing doesn't focus on protecting average citizens from property crimes, it's a complete afterthought.
Those are the idiots! 😀
But you're right, police aren't / can't protect people against these crimes. The afterthought does benefit from camera footage, though.
Police wont look for your stolen car even if you have a 4k video of the theft and a GPS tracker in the car.
Yeah, but video is still helpful. I helped a neighbour whose car was scratched, and it turned out another neighbour ran into them and fled. LOL 🤭
In my experience they don't give a rat's ass about cameras. Mostly because the cops don't give a rat's ass about the footage either.
