Yeah, I know. I was trying to think of what this should fall under though...

Reminded me just how much video surveillance there is in the UK. This article shows the upside of that intensive monitoring of the population, with a child abduction solved in part using the footage obtained. There are downsides as well - it will be interesting to see how this evolves in coming years.

Since I live in the USA, I'm not on camera any where near as much. I sometimes wonder if I and my fellow citizens would behave better if I was under observation more often.

After I was confronted and followed by a gang of young men in London who told me that they could beat me up with impunity because there were no cameras in that area, I have had difficulty hating cctv like I'm supposed to.

You should see the volume of cases that are NOT solved because the CCTVs didn't have storage, were too blurry, etc.

Wouldn't they still not be solved if there were no cameras at all?
