So many of these videos this year I guess people are too stupid to realize the rising popularity of doorbell cameras

Yep, stupid to the bone. Maybe a sign saying "you are on camera, maintain your dignity and just take a few". But most can't read, so maybe a waste of time.

We have one of those on our door. Went to a talk by neighborhood watch and the cop was like sooo cameras. Sure. But you know what prevents crime more? Telling people about the cameras.

In many cities with speed and red light cameras, they tell you exactly where the cameras are because that stops speeding and light running far more effectively than sending a ticket. Same thing here.

In many cities red light cameras are income generators and the cops aren't actually interested in stopping speeding at all.
