Neighborhood Watch With Cameras

[FS]

Not at all. Were you planning on doing anything private in the streets? Do you start sweating when you notice a store you're in has security cams?

The crime prevention effect, however, is probably minimum. The cameras so quickly become something you don't even notice anymore that probably few criminals will reconsider their actions. The only real use maybe is to be able to catch the face of perpetrators of violent crimes on the camera... but there's only so much you can do with that.

It's been done in several countries already, but maybe the effect is different per country - in Detroit it might have a more potent effect.
