The other day somebody sped through my neighborhood ignoring all red lights and lane markers. It would be cool to deter this behavior before somebody gets hurt. The police aren’t patrolling 24/7.

It would indeed be cool to deter that kind of stuff; I agree.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. And I think it's fair to say that deterrence works similarly to prevention, in this context.

How does the presence of Flock cameras serve to deter (or prevent) the kind of behavior you describe?

Or, as a corollary question: How does the absence of Flock cameras serve to encourage it?
