   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.

         How would a camera stop a break in? All that does it catch it on camera. So many celebrities and rich people all have top of the line security systems connected to rapid response patrols already stationed in the neighborhood to get there faster than police. They still get robbed, and they get to watch a video after of people dressed in all black rifle through their possessions and get out in 3 minutes driving away in a stolen car.

         Some SF specific clearance rate data:

         They only solved 9% of car thefts this year with all this flock surveillance. Little different from last year.
