The fact is we need cameras. I know being in favour of any form of law enforcement is heresy here but there are murderers who were arrested only because of CCTV. The question is not "cameras or no cameras" because cameras will win for the average person 9 times out of 10 (to the extent that Ring doorbell cameras sell like hotcakes), the question is whether the cameras are internet connected.
