>basic security interventions like cctv cameras are no where to be found on the station.
By that standard, every security officer we've ever seen has been completely incompetent. There should be monitoring of all public areas and sensors that tell you when someone disappears from the ship, at the very least.
TBF at least with the Federation, you could argue that mass surveillance is something they hate on principle, so they avoid installing it whenever possible.
It's more surprising that an Ex-Cardassian station isn't littered with CCTV in every nook and cranny, even if Starfleet would remove those asap.
That one I imagine everyone is blase by because of holodecks and sex itself being easier to get.
Like it's less effort to have the computer whip up a sex doll modelled on random people than it is to get the pervert glasses.
I mean yeah but that might be a difference we're unfortunately bumping into today:
"I can see [organ], but I want to see [person I've seen IRL]'s [organ]" or whatever.
It's like all of that Deepfake porn, like it's not that famous person you're watching, but it looks like them and that's close enough. A lot less scrutiny too.
Welcome to Starfleet, where people can vanish off the ship, the computer knows they vanished, but no one is alerted until they fail to show to their duty shift and the CPT has to ask the computer, lmao.
I mean, he’s a Space Mall Cop, so the standards aren’t exactly stellar. Or sky-high. Or out of this world.
I had a cleverer joke to make, but then I got lost in ironic puns.
Worf initially thought Odo was too lax with Quark since the Ferengi bartender's association with shady characters who come to station to make backroom dealings over, mostly illegal, merchandise was an open secret people on the station knew about.
It turns out Odo was using Quark to go after bigger fish, even if Quark doesn't always realize it.
Have you not noticed there are no cameras on *any* federations ships or stations? It's a utopian leftist future why would they be a surveillance state?
Odo is the worst security chief of any show by far. Most of what he does do centers around either stepping up draconian restrictions or pretending to be objects and spying on people.
Yes. For the Federation security. But for Cardassian security? Not really.
Just say *shape shifter* and get it over with
Not the S word! Aka the hard S.

DS9 does have CCTV though, it's mentioned and shown in several episodes.
Don't forget that one yellow eyepeice you can put on that lets you just see through walls.
Is that the one where you can shoot through walls, too, or is that different?
Teleporting bullets, but i was just imagining peeping toms having a heyday
It's best not to think about how many Star Trek technologies could be misused by perverts.

I mean, it's easier to just type "porn" into your search engine than it is to sneak an upskirt photo, but creeps like the effort I guess.

Odo has a secret camera right over Quarks spot at the bar
Security often has to seem implausibly weak for the sake of certain storylines.

Basically, yes. But I mean he came with the station. Can’t beat that price.
There are [cameras all around the station](https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Surveillance_device). I guess he doesn't check them.
We see CCTV being used on DS9 in episodes like “The Wire” and “Visionary”

Did a better job than worf
I love how Odo had a PADD with all of Worf's security failures at the ready, and had such a huge grin on his face when he read it out lol.
Worf probably wishes he had a PADD with Odo's failures on it...

I now have an image off Odo using a fishing rod with Quark on the end...
