thats the sort of sarcastic comment you normally make towards the UK in regards to my previous point about pretty much all busy public area’s in the UK being covered by CCTV who would send police to you if you was spotted in danger of being attacked or already being attacked .
which of course does not protect someone being attacked by a determined attacker but it acts a deterrent in many cases and ensures that police responses are as quick as possible for people in need of help .
Also allows us to coordinate the police response with the help of a live feed of intelligence about the situation . So was a gunmen on the loose we would be able to keep track of his exact movements and guide in armed units thus avoiding the utter confusion that we saw in paris leading to a tense situation and a man hunt lasting days.
also helps in convicting the fuckers as well when you have them on camera committing the crime
