If CCTV is there for our safety and security then why are there so many unsolved crimes?
Q. Every where you go especially in cities there are CCTVs watching. We are told its for our peace of mind so we feel safe but there are so many crimes on the streets which go unsolved.

Q. I always thought this was something that once existed way back in the 20th century. Untill today of course, after going through a Wikipedia spree by random, finding out that the "Mafia" families I once watched in The Godfather exist till today and are casually listed along with their current leaders as if crime is somehow legal. Then I go to read about the Yakuza in Japan and their influences (even read that they had goverment influence). I've truly never felt so much disgusted before. My whole view of the world has changed. Are we still in the 1920's? How can something like this still exist to this day? How the *** can a clan of a couple dozen thousand members overrun security in a country?
