I find them a lazy and often useless solution in most of the other cases. It’s nice to have the video of a robbery or a car accident to investigate later, but I don’t want the robbery or the accident to happen in the first place. Imagine the case of an homicide: it’s cool to catch the killer, but the victim remains dead. Cameras are a cheap “solution” to have the illusion of control.
Plus: the whole face recognition thing is going to be a huge problem in the future in the less-democratic countries.
The Paul Street Boys. I still remember it fondly!
