I think any surveillance system will have tangible benefits. The question is whether they outweigh the costs. I've certainly been assaulted on 2nd avenue by drunk rednecks. Some security to resolve that problem would be useful. Like actually having cops on the street at last call. On the other hand, a 2nd Avenue where laws are perfectly enforced would rapidly cease to be somewhere people went for fun, and so the cameras will chase people around the city until eventually life is rather intollerable unless you're going from your car to the mall and you never have more then one drink and you're not an undesirable.
