> It would absolutely end 95% of crime

It might solve much of existing crime, but that’s not the same as a net reduction in crime.

Bribery, blackmail, and coercion would just fill the crime vacuum.

It would only solve crime if the police actually followed up on all areas where surveillance pointed out crime. Surveillance itself can't arrest a criminal.
