Everything can happen to anyone.

I think stickfigure is trying to say that, with cameras above head, which will result in higher probability of being caught if someone commits a crime, the one who would commit a crime if there was no camera will refrain from committing a crime.

With cameras, the probability of losing life will be smaller than without them.
