> do you think installing flock cameras isn’t an attempt to deal with it?

It's not dealing with it because its lazy passive action where citizens shrug responsibility off to a 3rd party who only cares about making money and not the people on the other end. Nothing actually happens because cameras won't deter anything and only increase the ability for the government to abuse people.

Dealing with it means learning from the past and taking action. If the lock on your garage was picked then harden the garage lock. If your car was broken into then maybe it's safer in the garage. Buy your own motion sensing cameras with remote viewing. Install security bars or security windows and doors. Motion sensing lights all over. You either sit around and cry for someone else to magically fix the crime problem or defend your possessions.

You’re right, I shouldn’t expect laws and enforcement. Let me also hire a personal army while I’m at.

What a load of bullshit victim blaming.

		> You’re right, I shouldn’t expect laws and enforcement. And from the original description it certainly sounds like you are living in an area where there is no enforcement. That is clearly a failure of you local municipality of which you are a part of. Now with that in mind, again, tell me how flock cameras are going to fix a seemingly non-functional government and police department? > What a load of bullshit victim blaming. If your local government isn't doing anything then you need to step up and protect yourself in its absence. Sorry if reality sucks.
