Surveillance Cameras Don’t Work

Okay, so, it’s been established, pretty clearly, by most people who’ve studied the issue, that surveillance cameras don’t work to either solve crimes or deter crime (my dear readers, if I have any at this point, which I probably don’t because this is day one, are perfectly capable of using a search engine to verify this claim). Which makes them, in my estimation, a pretty egregious violation of people’s privacy. So why is it that various Stephen Avenue business owners are giving them rave reviews?

I mean, owning an overpriced pub surely makes someone an expert in public safety, right?
