ok, I agree with you jolly except for this statement... statistically, the crime rate for the whole city drops, but in actuality, only the crime for the one street corner drops... example, let's say that there is a street corner that accounts for 10% of an entire city's crime, well, they put a camera on that street corner, and the crime on that corner drops to 2%, so, on paper, it looks as though the crime rater dropped 8% in the entire city, but really it just dropped 80% for that one street corner alone... this is really the only place I disagree with you, other then that, I agree totally
