[SML] Surveillance cameras on the audience?

[Kristi R-C]

 Many schools do, too, for obvious reasons. Also helps with theft and attendance issues. I can’t speak for other states, but Wisconsin had $100M for our HS to add secure entrances and cameras - with about 500 HS in the state, that’s a sizable chunk per school. Most have a campus security person watching the cameras and able to respond as needed. The really smart systems have it so that the security person can talk on a mic to the folks he’s watching on camera. 
And can we PLEASE let her fade into oblivion? The notoriety is what she wants.

 They clearly have a rather extensive camera system in place, consider that Colorado has had some of the more noteworthy mass shooting events, also consider how helpful this is when the problem requires removal etc...  There is no way that the removed patron can claim that they didn't do the things they were tossed out for.  Certainly can protect the theatre from a lawsuit, allows the house staff to monitor reported bad behaviour without disrupting other patrons until the removal is required.  Seems like a pretty good idea.  Also clearly have someone on staff who edited together and released the multiple camera views.  Curious if this was after she complained she did nothing wrong, or pre-emptively?
