Eh they can't be everywhere at once. If there's no specific location I don't think it matters too much.

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.

Devil's night and Halloween are already their busiest days.

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.

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”

They’ll just pay everyone overtime and double shift everyone on the taxpayers dime, it’s okay.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

8) No Bots.
