"From Scotland to Sydney, studies have shown that the installation of video cameras does not prevent crime, but simply moves the crime from where the cameras are to where they aren't. As crime moves out of the camera's range, it is inevitable that ever more cameras will have to be installed to keep up with the shifting targets."
