You're claiming that there is "ample research" showing that the presence of cameras makes people act more in conformity with rules, right? Now, you've added the claim that the situation of those cameras is "irrelevant"? Really? Should I start a list of people who have deliberately videoed themselves doing horrible things to other people?
"Bald assertion" does not equal "logic and reason" no matter how many times you make that claim. You obviously confuse those things in a lot of threads on a lot of subjects.

Amazon has over 20 pages of listings for fake security cameras.
Granted these are for the incredibly different scenarios that don't involve people on bicycles, but apparently enough people feel that the presence of a camera does change behavior. I put an extra camera in the lobby of my old condo complex when we had some packages stolen, and that helped cut down on the theft problems we'd been having. Posting pictures of the thief stealing packages helped too, maybe it was just a fluke that the thief decided to stop stealing packages out of the lobby after seeing his picture posted there and the extra camera.
