      I’ve always wondered how surveillance could prevent crimes. It’d be more akin to pre-crimes, no? Most actions are completely legal up until the moment they’re not.

        In theory if you know that someone is going to commit a crime, you could send police to the scene to, in the best case, frighten them off or to at least be able to react quickly and hopefully prevent harm.

        I don’t think that it works, or that it would be worth the intrusion into everyone’s personal lives even if it did, but that’s the idea.
