England has cameras everywhere and I bet that they have MORE Police in areas with high population density like The Villages - and they are not some anti-personal freedom country like Russia and China. Some parts of the US ALREADY have lots of cameras to prevent crime. Department stores and Walmart have had cameras for the last 60 years and that has NOT turned the US into a RAVING mad Communist country. I bet that Canada has plenty of cameras in large cities. And SOON in the future there will be cameras in the sky on drones watching traffic and spotting crime. That will NOT make or break The Villages into a socialist hellhole.
........The problem is that it would represent CHANGE and many people, especially the elderly RESENT change!
........More Police or more cameras could be BOTH a good OR a bad thing, just like Nuclear energy or rockets to the Moon or ANYTHING.........it is the INTENT and the application of ANY NEW idea that determines if its value is good or bad.
