US crime rates should continue to decline due to location services and surveillance.

US crime rates should continue to decline due to location services and surveillance. | The crime rate in the US has plummeted. I mean, absolutely plummeted. And it's due to two things. Location services, knowing where all police are at all times, better control of location, and then after that surveillance. Uh, and so that is the good side effect. Crime rates should continue to go.
