This is a very good idea! I'm kinda' surprised that there weren't hidden cameras there before though.

Cameras work well in my type of business, and I have many examples of how we have used them to assist police. I think they are a good idea at TL. Also I agree with the deterent nature of having visible cameras, but in a theme park they would probably be perceived as negative. A few well publicized examples will do the job. The creeps will go and be creepy somewhere else for the most part.

It will work as a deterrent if nothing else.
The whole reason the perps were doing this in the wave pool vs. somewhere else is they think they can get away with it in the big crowd and the 'oops' cover story.
Now they know they are being watched in that area... their cover no longer works and they will have to find a new way to get their jollies.

I hope they don't get there new jollies anywhere on Disneys grounds.
No, it won't. Depending on what the perpertrator tries to, the cameras won't have any affect. Having cameras visible and out in the open merely will allow a perp to lure his or her victim into an area where there are no cameras.
Exactly, BUT a camera won't show intent, unless it is very obvious someone is being targeted. Even if caught on camera a perp can say"oops."
As I said, a camera doesn't always show intent, so a perp can easily claim it was an accident...and if the pool is crowded the camera won't pick up much to begin with.
This is nothing more than false security. I doubt it would really do much other than cause parents to relax their monitoring of their children thinking that "security is watching."

Keep your elitist theories to yourself, as there is no correlation between one's pedophilia tendencies and income. None. And this isn't just occurring now. These types of incidents happen all the time. Unfortunately for the perps, they just happened to be caught. In general, it goes unreported. Some kids might not see who did it, or be embarassed, or the parents won't press charges in order to protect the child from re-living the experience in court, etc. But to act as if this heavy discounting is responsible is ridiclous. Wasn't there a Senator who solicited young male pages not even four years ago? I'd hardly have said he was on the fringe of society. Sexual predators have no socioeconomic boundaries.

Exactly - it will eliminate this 'trick'. It's naive to think you will eliminate all crime - all you can do is reduce the easy of committing a crime.
You don't need the cameras to convict people. The point was 'deterrent' not 'conviction tool'. If the perp knows he's on camera, he is far less likely to try the same crime. Criminals try to GET AWAY with stuff, not TAUNT law enforcement. The pool offered anonymity and the ability to blend in with the crowd. It no longer will - so the opportunity is far less lucrative.
