belling the skangs

The good burghers of the dulcet south Kildare gangland enclave of Kilcullen are once more discussing the installation of closed circuit television cameras on the thoroughfares of our fair town.
The more suggestible gulpens think that filming gang activity somehow might discourage it.
I would ask the following.
What if, as occasionally theoretically might happen, a corrupt cop is stationed in the town?
What would he do with CCTV footage?
The solution to crime is not to let criminals film us.
The soultion to crime is to stop tipping your forelocks to the drug dealers who live at my gate, to the corrupt cop, to the IRA, to the Hutch gang, and to the clan of hoodlums operating out of the Alke Babish chipper and other chippers in the town.
Get up off your knees.
That is all.
