Re: The Advantage of Human Surveillance
Do you think that cameras really help at all in scenarios like the bank robbery? It sounds like your argument is against the idea of cameras actually being able to deter crime, at least in relation to what a human could do. An actual guard could potential ... -

I was actually surprised at the lack of exterior cameras on buildings. As you know, we didn't really go into many buildings so I'm assuming that whatever cameras were absent from the main strip were present on the inside. With that said, I think ...
