    Sure, but they can increase the amount of cops working that night, and make sure that stay near the cameras. Might not make much of a difference in big cities, but smaller towns that only have a few cameras will probably be watched with much more scrutiny.

        Especially with all the razor blades being put into caramel apples and prescription pills added to prepackaged candy

        Yeah any community that dedicates officers to watch cameras on halloween and then sees a kid run over is going to have a serious fucking shitshow on their hands, so I doubt they’ll be watching them.

          our community got its officers out on the streets on halloween and we’ve had far fewer incidents.

          hard to tell whether this is part of the underlying trend toward less crime or a result of that specific action, as i’m not a crimeologist, but when i smell correlations shit i point at it.

      Yeah, but then they have to explain why the city spent money to protect flocks property instead of truck or treaters

        The cops are immediately gonna use the tune of “the perp drove away and our flock cameras got cut down by some punks so we couldn’t track the car”
