    A specific subset of crimes reduced, i wonder what the demographic of those criminals is.

    Not to say you shouldn’t be arresting criminals, but they should be arresting all criminals, they don’t need a 1984 style facial rec system for a 10.5% drop in crime.

    Well, i say that , but equal opportunity crime prosecution isn’t really what the police are for, so…

    Actually arrest and prosecute the many many known criminals in the government and corporate world, no capital outlay in camera networks required.

    Pretty sure that would give you a solid reduction in crime numbers as well.
