I watched in interesting doco on CCTV in England last night. There's actually only 130 (or close to that figure) cameras in the whole of the country which surprised me. I would have thought there'd be more.

Everyone they interviewed seemed positive, of course, they would have edited the negative comments out, but there were also interesting interviews with law enforcement agencies.

It was an Australian production. Apparently when APEC was on, the AFP went to London to learn more about CCTV and other surveillance techniques. I guess they weren't listening properly though. lol

In any case, it seems all the authorities agree that there's only going to be more and indepth visual surveillance techniques in the future, and as one woman put it, there's nothing to hide if you're not doing anything wrong, and if you are thinking of doing something wrong, then maybe the fact that you're being watched might encourage you to think again.
