As we all know here, material conditions have progressively been getting worse and worse. Based on pretty much all political theory, crime rates should also be going up with worse material conditions. But they haven't, in fact, crime rates have been going consistently down for the past 30 or so years. Why is that?
The surveillance state has gotten to the point your phone and car track your every move and record everyrhing you say out loud or through text communications.
Crime is going down because it's almost impossible to not be recorded doing a crime, if the cops care enough (see family guy color chart) they can easily get high definition security footage of everybody within a mile of a crime scene it's just a matter of I'd they feel like making the effort or not.
