    Massive surveillance programs won’t stop crime. Instead it will be used to persecute target demographic groups.

      Its probably the only reason the major was put into that position. Foreign influence.

    Instead of spending millions on CCTV and drones try giving people safe shelter and sanitation.

      safe shelter

      What does that have to do with crime?

      sanitation

      Are people catching some kind of disease that makes them steal and commit assaults?

        Thought it was pretty obvious they if people are in desperate situations they will resort to taking desperate measures to survive, but I guess not

          Not even to make them happy, its a survival technique.

    So you’re telling me that blanketing cities in CCTV over the past decade or so has failed to stop crime? And you’re telling me that you need more of it to stop crime?

    It won’t help unless you actually put the criminals in jail. Since you won’t do that, drones are useless.

        The answer conservatives won’t give is “expecting accountability.”
