   Has any of this surveillance bullshit reduced the number of incidents that occurred where they have been installed? I find it terrifying.

      Yes, flock cameras basically solved the problem with San Fran car breakins.

         No one from the city calls it San Fran.

            You don’t have to be from the city to read a crime chart. What kind of absurd gatekeeping is this?

               You do have to put some effort into understanding crime and prosecution figures though.

               Was it actually flock that saw the cratering of car breakins in 2024 - or was it the increase in successful prosecutions following the passing of SB 905 which closed the "locked door loophole" ?
