I think that the government is willing to fork out that sum of money to keep crimes at a low rate. Treat it as an investment that will pay off. You might have to pay for the CCT cameras now but then, over the years, it will still function properly and doing its job well keeping crimes rates low. Besides having to pay for the electricity bills, I see no other reasons why the government should not have the CCT cameras installed. In addition to the economice downturn, people might be resorting to stealing as they might not have sufficient cash to purchase necessary items and this is where the CCT cameras help. 

The government will definetly purchase a type of CCT camera that fulfills its job. Cameras like these might not be even soar up to $1200. Adding to that fact, the government has a budget when it comes to purchasing things. For this case, is the CCT cameras. I am sure that the government do not just buy things carelessly, they must go through thinking if to approve of this idea before buying expensive CCT cameras that overlooked the criteria of being a assistance to keeping crimes low.
