I’ll come back to the general statement that I often make, which is that we live in a society of degenerates, governed by morons. Americans and people everywhere are going to have to sacrifice certain privacies, if they want society to be adequately protected, and communities to be completely safe, and bad people to be prevented from doing bad things. We shouldn’t become a full-blown surveillance society and go all the way to the extent of phone calls being listened to - that is extremely invasive, and can be easily abused, AND would make attorney/doctor privacy protections null and void - but we absolutely have to have cameras all over our cities, and we absolutely have to have more police officers everywhere. As populations grow, even if the percentages of smart people and good people and dumb people and bad people stay the same, the numbers of those people grow as the populations grow. I know that we are seeing current population decline because of unfavorable birth rates, but the human population is increasing overall, over the years. The more it increases, the more snart and good people we get, but also the more bad and desperate and uneducated people we get too, many of whom go to the extremes that degrade society and our communities. Police forces can’t keep up as populations grow, if the police forces don’t also grow. One way that we can help our police forces, is through technology, cameras everywhere, so that people know that whatever they do on a city street will be seen, and they can be caught, and they can be tracked all the way from scene of the incident to wherever they finally end up that night when they go home, or where they started from earlier that day. I understand why there is a reluctance to establishing something like this on a large scale, but it’s already in place in some places, and it helps. If you’re out in public, you’re being seen by people anyway, so what’s the difference if you’re seen by a few more people on camera? And the bottom line is, in such an environment, nobody’s paying attention to you if you’re not doing anything bad. You can still pick your nose when nobody’s looking, and nobody’s going to know, because back at the station, nobody’s going to be looking for that or at that anyway. They’re just reviewing things when an incident happens. Or, if you’re cheating on your partner and you’re afraid that someone at the police station might see, you should be more concerned about the people who you might see at a restaurant who might actually know you. And, you should also be concerned about your own decisions and whether or not you should be doing that anyway. I find that people most fearful about city cameras, are either shady or paranoid. In any case, whether it comes to that or not, I think it’s definitely going to come to police forces using drones and robots, like Optimus. Eventually, that’s where this goes, and I think then and only then, will we see a drastic decrease in crime, as cities and communities are finally properly patrolled.
