    i mean there were already security cameras all over my k-12 schools in the 80s and 90s. only unfilmed places were the toilets and maybe part of the yard

        bay area, california. we had a gang problem the decade prior. the subsequent decade, not so much. i’d be hesitant about the tradeoff (it was far more than security cameras), but we went from five killings a year to one and that’s with population growth.
