They already do this in areas with a history of car theft, so I think it could work to deter other crimes from occuring as well.

The only problem is that there is so many low traffic areas that it would be a never ending problem of adding a camera here and adding a camera there.
Plus this happened near the homeless shelter, which I assume, is not a low traffic area.
