it's a band-aid to a different, more serious problem. you both would have a point if the crime rate in germany or austria was higher due to not allowing surveillance in public spaces.

but thankfully they have other deterrents to crime that allow everyone to have more privacy in public spaces.

i saw the headlines. i haven't read about any ideas what would be the cause. but whatever it is, surveillance of public space is not going to solve it.
