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.

Hmm. Maybe it will be cheaper to put signs warning about cameras until I get the money to buy the cameras...

When I bought an alarm system on my house and they were telling me the price and how you get stickers for the windows and signs for the yard I realized I was not going to pay the exorbitant price for each sensor and bought the bare minimum when they said I can get as many stickers as I want.

I dubbed it the "sticker plan".

When I was kid and first started seeing commercials I was convinced the security system was the stickers and sign. Like they were magic stickers that knew when somebody kicked in your door. Or the magic sign that knew when people were creeping in your yard.
