Is it safe to commit a crime in Dubai?

Apparently not. Cameras are everywhere. Govt is recording you.

You're on camera in a lot of places in the US as well. Probably more than you realize.

Israel thought they could. The question did not refer to me.

The 500,000 sqft warehouse I work at has about 90% camera coverage. Not really used until an accident or theft investigation.

Pretty much everywhere you go around places like hospitals, department stores, malls, convenience stores, gas stations, government buildings, toll booths, intersections with red light cameras, etc., you're being recorded. Nobody's looking at it most of the time, but they can go back and pull up the video from times of interest whenever a question arises. And now there are countless random webcams that show passersby. That person that looks like they're texting on their cell phone may actually be videoing you to post your silliness on YouTube. Think "People of Wal-Mart."

They have cameras everywhere; the government in the US can watch you just as easy as you can watch people walk down your street. Anyone who think Google are the only ones who can zoom in on you to street level is delusional lol

street level is nothing. Military hardware can look into your window and read over your shoulder.

Is there a link to this technology? I haven't seen a satellite photo where you could even read license plates on a car in the open, and come to think of it, I don't think I've seen one where you could even point out the make/model. I'd also hope that if they had satellites like that, there would be slightly less civilian deaths going on in iraq and afghanistan.
