Ha ha. No doubt. The first thing I thought of was getting a camera focused on Crack Mac's and a little side bonus would be to capture those scofflaws who dare defy the flashing hand. Catch 'em on tape, zoom in and put their sneaky faces on the internet!
Seriously though, if they did set up a camera focussing on that place, wouldn't the criminals just walk around the corner and do whatever they were doing? Makes sense to me. And then they might set up another one "around the corner" and away we go to having the whole city under surveillance.
I had a "Big Brother" moment at Stampede Station once. Some dude was having a snooze and a voice came over the loudspeakers that said "hey you there sleeping at Stampede Station, move it along. Get up, wake up, you at Stampede Station sleeping on the platform, get up, please leave at Stampede Station sleeping on your jacket". This went on for some time. The guy didn't budge. I assume they sent some Transit Dick over to roust him out of there but I wasn't around for the finale.
I knew the cameras were there but I hadn't ever heard the person. Talk about your boring job.
