A quote from Rafael: "What if the person who snatched the money away from the lady knew that there was indeed a CCTV camera there, and so purposely chose a blind spot in which the camera could not record? I am sure the camera would not be able to record what happened there would it? Besides, no one would be stupid enough to go and rob an old lady in front of a CCTV surveillance . Before they tried to rob the old woman, they should have planned."

When the relevant authorities install the CCTV cameras, I am quite sure that they would choose a strategic location for the camera to cover the "blind spots". However, a CCTV camera only has got a limited amount of range or simply speaking, it is only recording in one fixed direction. Unless there is someone manning the camera, the camera would not move. Who would employ anyone to sit infront of the TV screen all day just to control these cameras?

Also, the other places that has no camera could be also called "blind spots". What i am trying to say here is that we can not entirely depend on these CCTV cameras for our safety. If there is a CCTV camera and a burglar is wearing face mask robbing a victim(assuming that the robber ignores the CCTV because his face is concealed from the camera) , the CCTV can only watch the incident happen and not help the victim , physically, at all.
