Should Dublin City become 100% CCTV monitored

Mr_Red

Including every street, Traffic light, Public transport and train station from a one stop shop like Garda HQ

due to the amount of scumbaggery going on.

Im a Dub and I think yes

Great way to waste more money we don't have.

Maybe more guards on the street might help.

Hande hoche!

We should also outlaw thoughtcrime.

I thought it was already

Most of the city is monitored 24/7. A more effective policy would be having more Gardai on the actual streets, rather than sitting in a station waiting for a call. I dont know why there was so much outcry of Rural Gardai stations being closed down in areas with no crime and everyone knows each other. They were literally used for stamping forms for passports.

A more effective use of Gardai would move tons of the rural ones to Dublin, where there is actual crime and where they are needed.

How about we tell all the decent people to vacate Dublin for a few days, basically non Dubs, then we go in with machine guns and take out all the trash.

why is it a waste of money?

jank

No point if there is no follow up arrests and appropriate punishments. Not a slap on the wrist to add to the other 40 convictions.

Because it's not needed! Plus, Public transport and train stations all have CCTV.

Which is not live data and monitored by the company themselves

If you've nothing to hide you've nothing to fear.

Sure, and broadcast in on its own tv channel. Probably better than Fair City.


What do you think OP? Should Waterford be 100% CCTV?

More gardai/removing the methadone clinics from the city centre would do a lot more than a few cameras.

That's not very libertarian of you.

I'd be happy if only you left

I think we should arm both north and south sides and close all the entrance roads.
Problem should take care of itself over a year.

Do you feel Waterford needs it? I feel Dublin needs it as I said in the OP

I think it's clear that Dubs are incapable of cleaning up their mess. It's up to the rest of us to sort it out. We could form a group: Culchies Unite Normalising Tramp Streets or something like that.

catallus

Nuke it from orbit.

suicide_circus

No, I dont wanna live like that. A few more gardai on the ground, removing addict facilities from the city centre and deducting fines at source from SW paymemts would see a big improvement

the culture of deference

It would be preferable if people were micro chipped and DNA sample kept on file. Then when a crime was committed anywhere, you could track down who was in the vicinity immediately, and then verify DNA. Think how much time would be saved, and if you were innocent it would be easy to prove.

I would say yes for anti social behavior. But knowing Dublin, it would be used for issuing fines for people going and coming from work.

Good idea. It's not like you have anything better to do with your time.

Operation freeflow isnt far away. Its gas looking at some poor culchie from a garda station in the back end of nowhere standing on the road at the O Connell monument like a rabbit in the headlights

Anyone familiar with Limerick City Centre over the last 20 years will appreciate the wonders of CCTV. Changed the place completely for the good. Put it in Dublin too.

And what if the "crime" is something that's bullshit? It wasn't long ago that homosexuality was outlawed.

Yeah, nothing could possibly go wrong with being microchipped by the Government.

Would it? What if the gardai/government were in it to stitch you up? Seems like it would things far easier for them.

Do we have the cash to spend it on this tech.Maybe hire more Gardai instead.O Connell street has loads of cameras and still they take heroin openly so cameras are not doing much to stop that.Boots on the ground and bigger sticks is what Gardai need.Start up a add or petition for more Garda from the sticks with bigger sticks.

I'd just be disappointed I wouldn't get to see the mess the country would become without Dublin to prop them up.

Gods forbid that copyright lawyers ever get a hold of these microchip records.

Ask the folks in the Dublin City forum. I'm sure the people of Mayo or Clare don't care much for this thread
