A 25% to 100% Crime Reduction Blueprint

Strategies matter, and all strategies are not equal. Focus on the minimum of 25% to trust me or read on, or doubt the 100% because you are pessimistic, but put a number you trust before you read the proposed details, and a different number after you read or see the implemented ideas. Every stage I present will be supported by feasible numbers, so journeying through all the stages requires determination, sacrifice, and, hopefully, sweet patience. The stages include: Education,  minor rewards, re-education, and major rewards. The good news is that part of it can be done with or without the governments, since governments are hard to convince to do unprecedented good. Yes! The Blueprint revolves around the nationwide and worldwide culture of Cameras, except I am detailing aspects in ways I have yet to use. Mass education, Mass Access,  Mass Participation,  and up to Mass rewarding beyond money. Yes! We will need money to implement the Blueprint, but a few million for some small countries, and a few billion for worldwide realization.

First, let me tease you with what all of us can relate to: money. Yes, this plan outlines how to create hundreds or thousands of new millionaires while helping to eliminate or reduce crime. Again, our definition of crime may vary, and different countries are at different levels, so they may implement the plan differently and thus achieve different levels of success.

You may need to search my recent article: ‘Two to Hundred Billion Dollars for World Peace and Security’ to have a better understanding of some aspects, including technical feasibilities I will avoid repeating here. The new, higher-quality body cameras will significantly boost interest, and mass participation is tantamount to mass success.

Stage One or Education: Providing much greater education about how all citizens must invest in body cameras will modestly boost participation. ‘ Invest or stop complaining about crime or blind trust without irrefutable evidence.’ Doing it may yield one to twenty percent boost; Trump, Elon Musk, President Tinubu, Barrow, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, etc., may see a ten to twenty percent boost. Meaning, trust matters, but we should not underestimate the importance of the message (education). We will have national and worldwide pitchers. Since my estimate here is even less than the 25% minimum, you should agree I am realistic, not naive, nor do I doubt that some countries may actually register even 50% participation at this stage, depending on the message used and/or the deliverer.  Detailing the types of messages to use will just lengthen the article and raise too many unnecessary doubts. Think of what you deem fit, and let us assume we are using that.

Stage Two or Minor Awards: Imagine a weekly or monthly award of $1000 to $10,000 awards for using your body camera footage to solve a crime or learn something huge through the news. Even an announcement of such a move by a trusted voice in every country can lead many people to buy body cameras. Let’s do the rough maths: $1000 a month or three prizes of such is how much for your country and worldwide? Very little. I detailed how to raise the funds in the article I mentioned. New company sponsors can be sought. Depending on the size of the country, we should consider a $10,000 top monthly prize to boost participation. Spending $25 to $100+ on body cameras to reduce crime, and potentially win $1000 or  $10,000 is something many may consider. This is a part we can handle privately through a special commission of judges, journalists, board members, etc. We do not need the government on this aspect.

However, the second minor reward of a 15 to 25% reward for splitting fines through your footage requires government participation. Luck or The judges and lawmakers will essentially determine how much you make through this stage. I estimate $25 to $ 1,000+, depending on the country or crime, and many will be happy.

Stage Three or re-education: Again, detailing the types of messages I think we should use may be controversial or premature to discuss.  However, by simply announcing our monthly winners and educating how their videos helped will likely boost participation towards 50% or more in the average countries. Showing real winners on TV and social media will certainly trigger more interest in mass buying or participation.

Stage Four or major reward: A million dollars is both small and big. It is small in the sense of raising it per country, or raising it to xyz billion dollars, if we can convince billionaires or governments of the effectiveness of our strategy.  A million dollars is also significant, in the both the poor and many rich folks will gladly accept it as a huge blessing while trying to do good. Meaning, even millionaires may buy and remember to permanently turn on their body cameras,  vehicle cameras, etc., to potentially win good money. From the minor rewards to the announcement of a minimum of a million dollars per country, I estimate about 75% may participate in many countries. Feel free to doubt my numbers, but you may agree that every stage is vital and will help reduce crimes, from deterrence to convictions.

Doing the maths: Let’s say there are about 300 countries in the world, or to participate. That is still well under one billion dollars, even if we add modest second- and third-prize payouts, a raffle, or merit-based analysis per country.  Again, countries spent billions on weapons to destroy in wars, catch international criminals,  etc. Feel free to debate; politicians will be hard to convince, but about 10% of presidents/leaders may gladly participate with taxpayer funding if the idea reaches them. Those ten percent likely know billionaires who will be interested in funding such to speed up human evolution on character and beyond.  Here again, an NGO or movement can handle the awards on a raffle- and/or merit-based basis. I am most concerned with mass participation, so I think the raffle is much better. With enough money, we can have both. Remember the stages and understand the human mind: ‘For the month of May, we have awarded about 1000 people different amounts, and all of them are now entered in a million-dollar lottery/raffle, which will trigger more participation and hope.’ My body camera caught a petty thief, and your body camera or vehicle camera caught a rapist of an adult woman is for ‘merit-based folks ‘ to debate, but if my thief had raped a child, then let God decide who deserves a nice financial reward through stages of deterrence, including contribution to convictions. The village boy or girl will be more willing to understand that the prospects are closer and beyond crimes. I will consider learning to make news videos, even about animals, for potential awards. Our target is mass participation, so let the villagers be encouraged beyond potential rape that is near zero in some poor but caring areas. Since the primary raffle is likely between a few thousand, not millions, the prospect of winning is much higher than a traditional lottery.  Meaning,  switch or split your lottery budget towards the best ‘raffle’ for humankind yet?

Although I am presenting the plan as a worldwide plan, I expect you to pitch it from a national level. By ensuring all ministers in your country get this article, you may be able to convince your president or leader to take action. If you share with journalists who may publish and/or write it differently, a billionaire or centi-millionaire may be interested in making it happen.  I happen to be from a poor country called the Gambia,  but we have few people that can realize it with or without the potential of making decent money through the plan. By opening a world-class camera store and following the plan, countless poor Gambians or xyz will buy.

Confronting the Pessimists: You have the disbelievers, but also the doubters.  The disbelievers in the good of cameras can have all kinds of fears and excuses I am not interested to debate here, but willing to debate anyone on TV.  As for the doubters, they may cite affordability. Yes, there may be ten percent of Gambians or xyz who are struggling on food at times, but they also own smartphones and expensive dresses in the poor villages. The messaging in some good months will send poor folks to buy, the awards can boost buyers, the real mass achievements of less crimes by even animals will uplift the poor. Our cameras will help certain farmers detect destructive monkeys or pigs earlier, boost their production for food or your cost. Our generation must accept body cameras as a huge blessing that must be worldwide. Cameras are tight to food, security,  better character,  health,  etc.  So let us accept the level we have, research further, as my other article hinted, and help the poor own enough cameras. Considering mass access to various body cameras is indeed a problem in many countries, I think the rich folks and politicians are the pessimistic guilty ones, but how many of them may repent and amend if we share in educating them? The journalists are arguably the second guilty doubters who may ‘repent, amend, and proclaim’ until realised,  as ch.2:160 hinted differently.

Cameras, money, and crime rates: If the title is about crime rates, then why is the article leaning on money and cameras? Reducing crime is primarily through education, but cameras help in both deterrence and securing convictions. The way we convince people to mass participate in camera buying will speed up with money or financial rewards. Any sane person will agree that if 75% of individuals own body cameras,  have vehicle cameras,  house cameras,  farm cameras,  etc it can reduce over 25% of crimes. Most countries hardly see 10% reduction in crime in a year, and even some measure reduction in questionable ways.  So my title is a range that depends on the country and other factors. Do not endlessly debate against me, my plan, the title, etc, but accept reality, share, or come up with a better plan or writing. Seeing what may help your country or the world significantly reduce crime is a major blessing that demands you employing efforts, not doubting.

Among the descriptions of Heaven is ‘free of lies [and cruelties]’. Should we try to build heaven on earth, aspects of heaven, or just pray for heaven? Cameras are heavenly and may God give the best heavens to those who sincerely try to give others the aspects of heaven humans can offer to humans. I know devils hate cameras, so I can fairly assume God loves cameras, gave us cameras,  and  may he give us much better cameras within weeks, worldwide. When rich countries like the u.s are branding cellular phones to record in protests or crimes, it reveals the journalists are not doing their job in urging for mass buying of body cameras. Also for fairly rich countries like the u.I will suggest a one-million-dollar award per state or the big states. Billionaires like Pretzker, Bloomberg, and how many residents of Florida may be strongly opposed to the law that bars even recording of abusive cops? By partnering up, we can repeal such laws through mass participation and improve your prospects of winning the next presidency or governorship. The Democrats or xyz can complain or try to educate the masses, or even consider laws and subsidies towards mass culture of cameras.  I hope God realizes it worldwide in 2026, but if we push for rich countries in 2026, R&D and others can force them to upgrade, or results may pressure the ‘followers’ to eventually accept that investing in cameras is arguably better than weapons, prisons, questionable roads, etc. If all or many countries participate, and how many states in a country, then how many millionaires am I helping create? Remember the crimes to deter or solve, remember the learning, and other good things. May God bless the caring who will publish and/or share. Lord, help me and help them, deter evil away from them, including diseases or any pain, give them happiness,  and even proportionately give me and all of them huge man made wealth through proportionate efforts… May God bless Showlove Trinity: let’s learn,  let’s work,  let’s have fun.
