There's a load of cctv all over the uk at the moment, it's one of the initiatives that the last conservative government was very fond of and which the Americans on here seem oblivious to. Funny that.


Neatly overlooking the fact that the majority of camera were installed after 1997 under New Labour.

Fair point. I don't see ravin' Dave talking about doing away with the wretched things though.

Fair enough they might help a bit towards convicting a felon, but stopping the crime in the first place, doubtful.

The onus should be on stopping crime, not helping with the convictions for crime as that does diddly squat for victims and people who become victims.

It's achieved bugger all, by most accounts. It's tricky to identify somebody from cctv footage, for a start. Then there's the shortage of people to keep an eye on the footage as it comes in...

I should think you Brits would love posing for camera as much as we do. What's the problem?

That it costs a fortune and achieves fuck all. It's rather like your Congress.

It annoyed a lot of people, but I don't think it's sent anybody down yet.

Or he steps on the crack in the pavement.

New Labour and Local councils of all parties thought CCTV was the answer to everything and as way they could decrease costs by having less beat bobbies. Criminals just moved to areas not covered by CCTV. There are a few new systems around which analyse car number plates and known faces, this may work but its new technology.

I did wonder why it was I kept getting approached by security guards, then it clicked, I wear a wide brimmed hat most of the time, the security cameras cannot see my face.

CCTV was used to fight crime in the US some 20 years before over here. We just copied you and got carried away.
