What's more likely, IMO, is that the crimes you described would never be solved even with millions of dollars in surveillance resources allocated to Oakland.
Also, this is one side of a story. Who's to say you aren't making things up, exaggerating, or even minimizing your provocation?
Do you think surveillance resources would have been best used solving a case of road rage? How many drones and cameras should have been used to bring justice to a mentally ill homeless man? Would you have preferred a helicopter was deployed to locate a damaged car that may or may not have struck your vehicle?
The truth about crime is that most of it goes unpunished, a fact every adult has to come to terms with eventually.
There aren't enough cameras in the world to stop a cop from filing your police report in a stack of paperwork and forgetting about it.
