I get puzzled by our preoccupation with CCTV, even after Ksh. 400 million from your payslips was used to purchase some which you see around Nairobi. Will CCTV cameras investigate crimes, pursue suspects, arrest them, present them before a court and prove they are guilty of a crime? Most crimes in Nairobi involve theft of a mobile device which can be tracked, but no, no one bothers. Our modus operandi is rounding up of immigrants and Somalis, banning of tinted windows, persecution of bus conductors and drivers for failure to stop crimes. You get the drift, even with police forces in other countries having set what are good practices in crime reduction, we prefer to use bizarre directives. In short, guys, you are on your own. The state long ago abdicated its role to fight crime. On Tuesday, 13 May 2014, Tony Likhanga <tlikhanga@gmail.com> wrote:
In-vehicle surveillance has many uses. In Russia, simple dash-cams are very popular but for different reasons; to capture video evidence of any idiot-in-chief on the crazy roads (both road users and traffic authorities)
Locally, it shouldn't be costly to install one, legislation notwithstanding : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pCuQNgENQ8
