The rule of thumb for law enforcement in general is..... it is not the punishment that deters crime, it is the inevitability of punishment that does.


Most criminals are dumb...but not so dumb that if they think they are being video taped that they continue without thinking about that video....and maybe reconsider.


Real or fake...video surveillance has proven effective in many areas for many crimes. Certainly not all.... but many.


If you want police to help...a video of the crime with any leads in it is worth...oh ....say... a thousand times more than a statement saying something is missing from my boat/house. If a video doesn't entice some action...file a complaint. Not saying they have to jump on it...but at least it is more likely to lead to something than thin air.
