I’m glad all the horribleness of the past week is now going to turn into a debate about CCTV cameras. Great work guys. Real good. Because that’s the conversation we need to be having. Not the one about how I, as a male, feels perfectly safe walking anywhere in this city yet my sister, housemates, and female friends are thinking twice about it. No, no. CCTV: HIGHSCHOOL DEBATE TEAM ONE SAYS YES, DEBATE TEAM TWO SAYS NO. Despite there being plenty of experts able to tell us they make not a jot of impact of crime. They either help relocate it or just give identification to the perpetrator.
