The trick is of course that with surveillance systems *all over* you'd have to
know about, and then manipulate, all those that recorded your illegal actions.
A very tough job, you'll probably get caught and then you're completely
screwed (why was this guy messing with the files? -- ah, he must have
something to hide!). Besides, there are many other forms of evidence
(like forensics) that would have to be manipulated too. Yes it can be done...
theoretically. Not many real people could do it. Down goes the crime rate :-)
