    Yeah. They also love it when there’s a specific date to ensure they have extra patrols nearby. Rebellions need to be unexpected and anonymous - an event that people are encouraged to publicly post about and participate in sounds like a trap.

      Eh they can’t be everywhere at once. If there’s no specific location I don’t think it matters too much.

        Sure, but they can increase the amount of cops working that night, and make sure that stay near the cameras. Might not make much of a difference in big cities, but smaller towns that only have a few cameras will probably be watched with much more scrutiny.

            Yeah any community that dedicates officers to watch cameras on halloween and then sees a kid run over is going to have a serious fucking shitshow on their hands, so I doubt they’ll be watching them.

              our community got its officers out on the streets on halloween and we’ve had far fewer incidents.

              hard to tell whether this is part of the underlying trend toward less crime or a result of that specific action, as i’m not a crimeologist, but when i smell correlations shit i point at it.

            Especially with all the razor blades being put into caramel apples and prescription pills added to prepackaged candy

          Yeah, but then they have to explain why the city spent money to protect flocks property instead of truck or treaters

            The cops are immediately gonna use the tune of “the perp drove away and our flock cameras got cut down by some punks so we couldn’t track the car”
