…then isn’t it the duty of the leaders/rulers/politicians to end the surveillance?
The Independent reports:
Just one crime is solved a year by every 1,000 CCTV cameras in Britain’s largest force area, it was claimed today.
Just one! Considering you’re photographed over 30 times every single day in London (there are more than a million CCTV cameras in London alone!), that’s a lot of surveillance, storage of surveillance, all for 1 in 1,000 crimes to be solved.
These things were introduced on the premise that they would help solves crimes (a lot more than 1 in 1,000) and help prevent it as well. That last one though, IMHO, works in the same manner that the death penalty works, as a “deterrent”, which we can see from US crime statistics, doesn’t work so well.
So if they’re not working, our government, our police forces, or whoever is controlling this, should fix it, or remove them.
