The number of people killed and maimed while just walking around has never been higher.

Substantiate your claims or GTFO. Comments like this are just bait, you have been here long enough to know that.

I don't disagree with you, but this is obviously a misleading stat on its face because the number of people has simply never been higher.

Crime per capita could be completely static and this statement would always be true simply because there are more people.

Wrong.

My dude, we are not talking about homicides.

Oh, are we talking about natural disasters and animal attacks? Or is it some secret third thing so you can feel even more clever as vaguepost?

>The number of people killed and maimed while just walking around has never been higher.

Yes, we are. You brought it up.

Citation for that?

Overall crime rates are up from pre-COVID, but nowhere near all-time highs.

Or, if you mean specifically traffic-related deaths and injuries, again, trending the wrong way, but also nowhere near all-time highs.

In either case, you still haven't indicated how pervasive surveillance will help...
