    Its just a start though right? Most people here are male and aren't that scared to be out and about. The women in my life have a much different outlook on things, I really think CCTVs and AI can really help make things safer.

    You can see with videos already helping to catch people (and potentially scaring people off from committing crime in the first place).

    Yes its a problem in the US where its criminal system is inconsistent at best, but the UK at least has much fairer legal system.

      Why don't you just fly drones directly over people's heads and monitor them that way?
