Cameras can’t stop crime. They can only help investigation.

For most violent cases, the perps are let right out anyway.

But you can be pretty sure there will be a lot fewer expired tags.

“Cameras can’t stop crime. They can only help investigation.”

I think you are right. Cameras are not going to prevent many murders; but cameras can help to identify murderers, convict them, and get them off the streets.

Locking up murderers in prison - which more and more people oppose - does help to prevent future murders.

Whether or not murderers have an expectation of privacy on a public street is another matter. I don’t think they do.

Thats what I was thinking here in Wichita, Sedgwick county. I swear, about 40% of the residents have expired tags or out of state tags, because it’s so damn expensive to tag in Kansas.
