00:03:21The paradox that blows the mind of any sane person,
00:03:24the Internet is literally flooded with such videos.
00:03:28People break into stores.
00:03:43most likely nothing will happen, it would seem, here is the proof, the elements of a crime, but, for example, in California, theft
00:03:46up to $950
00:03:49is not a crime in the usual sense. In
00:03:522014, the infamous law
00:03:56Proposition 47 was passed there, theft can...
00:04:00be considered just a misdemeanor, thieves
00:04:02play by these rules, they rob in groups, but
00:04:05each carries goods worth approximately up to $950.
00:04:09долларов.
00:04:17Since 2014, the number of shoplifting incidents in
00:04:20California has grown by more than a third, and the number
00:04:24of arrests for them has fallen by more than half,
00:04:28the logic is ironclad. The law allows stealing for
00:04:32a certain amount, it varies from state to state, and
00:04:35law-abiding citizens and businessmen can only
00:04:38film all this on their phones and post it on
00:04:42social networks, hoping that public
00:04:44outrage will someday force politicians
00:04:47to come to their senses, the wildest thing is that all this is perfectly
00:04:51officially recorded. In the US, the
00:04:53video surveillance system is developed no worse than anywhere else,
00:04:57cameras are on every corner. But what
00:05:01effect do they have if for a criminal it means nothing, and the US is not
00:05:04the only place in the West where public safety
00:05:08is a crucial point of modernity.
00:05:43system, why is this camera system needed? Here is a specific person, he needs
00:05:46to be caught, not a specific crime that needs
00:05:49to be solved, but you understand that a specific person who needs to be caught is
00:05:53primarily a political, most likely, persona, who
00:05:56is being watched, and who can then be accused
00:05:59of participating in some crime and so on. In the West, this whole
00:06:03system of video cameras and video surveillance
00:06:07is created in order to catch
00:06:10dissidents. January
00:06:132023, a frosty morning in Minsk, on
00:06:16Pritytskogo street, a young man enters a pawnshop,
00:06:19attacks a female seller with a knife, he
00:06:23stabs her with the blade, beats her, takes
00:06:26the money. Already a couple of hours later, the 22-year-old
00:06:30robber in handcuffs is taken to the station.
00:06:33A branched system of video cameras allows
00:06:37to quickly identify the criminal. It provides an opportunity to
00:06:41track and find not only dangerous robbers.
00:07:12thousands of administrative violations. In the near
00:07:15future, recording of violations of maneuvering rules, failure to yield
00:07:18to pedestrians, will be ensured, in the future, movement in public
00:07:21transport lanes, overtaking rules,
00:07:25driving without a seatbelt and a number of other
00:07:28violations. Brussels is the political heart of the European
00:07:31Union, Eurocommissioners meet here, pass
00:07:34laws, talk about human rights and democracy, and
00:07:38at night there are shootings, and so often that local
00:07:41residents... have already ceased to be surprised, on average
00:07:45two shootouts a week, here's an example,
00:07:48on the evening of August 24, 2026, on The
00:07:52Bank Square in the municipality of Saint-Gilles, an unknown person opens
00:07:55fire from an automatic weapon, bullets fly towards
00:07:59the pizzeria, visitors fall to the floor, hide under
00:08:02tables, on the square there are 18 bullet holes from
00:08:06large-caliber bullets. In one of the districts, a police
00:08:10station was shelled, security. At
00:08:13the moment, in the European Union, this is problem number
00:08:16one, in the opinion, in public opinion, this
00:08:20problem is even higher than the economic
00:08:23problem or the social problem, this is what
00:08:26worries citizens the most, at
00:08:30the moment, the feeling of lack
00:08:33of security is present in
00:08:36principle in every home, especially it is noticeable in
00:08:39large European cities,
00:09:13but 101 shootings a year for a city with a million inhabitants
00:09:17is an alarming signal. What is behind this
00:09:20bedlam. Brussels is a key hub for drug distribution across
00:09:24Europe. Cocaine goes through the port of Antwerp and
00:09:27then to the capital. Organized networks are fighting for the market,
00:09:31Moroccan, Albanian, North African
00:09:34groups. In Paris, or even in France in general, on any electric train,
00:09:38if you go and buy not business class special train. to relieve
00:09:55themselves right in
00:09:56the carriage
00:10:00practically before your eyes, both a man and a woman, to
00:10:03what depths, to what godlessness, to what dehumanization
00:10:06France has fallen under
00:10:09Macron, because I remember, I myself traveled, I... traveled by
00:10:13train from Brussels to Strasbourg in France, to the plenary session
00:10:17of the European Parliament, large ones, I just liked it. I remember that even
00:10:2010-12 years ago it was impossible. Minsk
00:10:24August 21, 2026 on Independence Avenue, a
00:10:28man in a medical mask enters a jewelry store, approaches
00:10:31the far display cases, where the most expensive diamond
00:10:35jewelry is, pulls out an item resembling a pistol,
00:10:38takes jewelry worth more than 400 thousand
00:10:42Belarusian rubles, everything happens in less than
00:10:45a minute, the sellers manage to press the alarm
00:10:48button, but the robber escaped. As soon as
00:10:51the signal arrives at the Minsk City Department of Internal Affairs, mechanisms are launched.
00:11:34Our arsenal includes systems for facial recognition and license
00:11:38plates, they help to quickly identify
00:11:41suspects who have left the scene of the incident or people who
00:11:44could have been witnesses to the crime. Modern
00:11:47technologies are an important tool for crime prevention.
00:11:51London is the city with the densest network of video cameras in Europe.
00:11:55There are more than 900 thousand surveillance cameras,
00:11:58it would seem that crimes on the streets are doomed
00:12:02to swift punishment from law enforcement, but in
00:12:052025, the clearance rate for thefts in London
00:12:09was an average of a pathetic 14%.
00:12:12Detective Peter Blakesley from Scotland Yard says
00:12:16directly: theft is effectively
00:12:18decriminalized, I can quit my job and become
00:12:21a robber, the chance of being caught is minimal.
00:12:25Why? Here, for example, a figure: last year, 400 cases
00:12:28were closed with the wording "not in the public interest", and
00:12:32the number of police officers is decreasing. To understand, across
00:12:35London, for 24/7 operations, only two
00:12:38police stations remained.
00:12:41This is for a city with a population of almost 9 million people.
00:12:45Welcome to the capital of democracy, where a camera is
00:12:49just a piece of metal on a pole. Approximately 7100
00:12:52mobile phones are stolen annually, and yet...
00:13:36how to take the situation under control, they are afraid of serious, well,
00:13:40not riots, of course, but burning cars, and so on
00:13:43and so forth, all this they are afraid
00:13:46to cause, I think that
00:13:49if for the most part what happens, well,
00:13:52in the UK or France.
00:13:55is recorded on cameras and recorded there as
00:13:58it is not French and not
00:14:00British, but
00:14:03they just try to sweep it under the rug, because
00:14:07the arrest of these people
00:14:10will certainly trigger
00:14:13a reaction
00:14:17from the diaspora. The Minsk bicycle thief was found by
00:14:21cameras, although sometimes precious time is lost here.
00:14:25The loss may not be detected immediately. The man turned out to be
00:14:29not just a serial thief, who stole at least nine
00:14:32bicycles in three districts of the capital. He
00:14:36gave the stolen goods to his children or sold them cheaply
00:14:39to someone. He sincerely believed that he would not
00:14:42be found. This is your whole philosophy: in London,
00:14:46there are 9000 cameras, and the clearance rate for thefts is
00:14:4914%. In Belarus, 60
00:14:52thousand eyes of the system that... never
00:14:55sleeps. A mysterious incident at Kamennaya Gorka
00:14:59metro station, the video surveillance system solved it in
00:15:02minutes, footage showed how a young guy
00:15:05repeatedly hit a man with force, and then threw him down the
00:15:09stairs, he lost consciousness, law enforcement
00:15:13tracked the escape route from one camera to another in real
00:15:16time, at the station, when the attacker was buying
00:15:20a ticket, a patrol was already running to him. Today, the Minsk police
00:15:23are capable of identifying and suppressing offenses in
00:15:27public places in the shortest possible time. Taking into account the criminogenic situation, patrolling
00:15:31routes have been determined, including the involvement of car patrols. Annually,
00:15:34more and more surveillance cameras are connected to the republican public
00:15:38security monitoring system, including those installed on houses in
00:15:41entrances. I repeat, the crime rate
00:15:44is steadily decreasing, the measures taken allow to ensure
00:15:48the safety of citizens in the city at any time of the day. First
00:15:51of all, thanks to the combination of modern technologies and
00:15:55preventive work. The same
00:15:57performances in labor collectives, social advertisements, visits
00:16:01to citizens at home, in 24/7 patrolling. This work
00:16:04will continue. In China, there are more cameras than residents in
00:16:08many European capitals, according to various estimates, between
00:16:11200 and 700 million are installed.
00:16:15For example, in the city of Guiyang, there used to be
00:16:18100 robberies a day, after the installation of cameras, they decreased
00:16:22by 200 times. Western journalists conducted
00:16:25an experiment on how quickly they would be detained for violations.
00:16:29It took 7 minutes. Behind these figures
00:16:32are large-scale government programs: SkyNet, Sharp
00:16:36Eye. Technologies.
00:16:46In Hunan province, in six months, thanks to SkyNet,
00:16:50stolen valuables worth 225
00:16:54billion yuan were returned. This is not the 88 million
00:16:57euros worth of valuables from the Louvre that were stolen and
00:17:00disappeared without a trace. And to get back to the topic
00:17:04of mobile phone theft, the police can
00:17:08even determine where this phone is, and who
00:17:11has this phone, but to search
00:17:15a house or force this person
00:17:19to return it or make him
00:17:22a prisoner, that's impossible, that is, they know where the phone is,
00:17:25but they don't have the right to take it from that person,
00:17:29that is, in fact, this is an excess of
00:17:33democracy, which does not allow the police
00:17:37to do their direct job, this is also a problem, as the
00:17:41police are in some ways tied,
00:17:45they cannot do everything they want, everything
00:17:48that needs to be done to neutralize
00:17:52these mad gangs who are now
00:17:55causing this lawlessness on the territory, for example, in
00:17:59London there are almost a million video cameras, but the clearance rate for thefts is
00:18:0214%, maybe because thieves know that they will not
00:18:06be touched.
00:18:19times less than in London, but the jeweler robber
00:18:23is found in a day, the serial bicycle thief
00:18:26is identified by recordings, and the guy who threw a person
00:18:30down the stairs in the subway is detained in a matter of minutes before
00:18:34he gets on a bus to a neighboring country. While in Europe
00:18:37people are afraid to go out after dark, in Belarus
00:18:41they walk at any time of day, because they know they are being watched and
00:18:45protected. It's not even about the number of video cameras, but about
00:18:47order and state responsibility.
