"I assume London is now totally crime free given all the CCTV cameras in the capital"
It is no good having CCTV in public places, if it isn't centralised, monitored and police are around to be sen to the crime locations..
I've watched crime documentaries where CCTV has saved lives and prevented rapes.
What is needed is comprehensive CCTV coverage, a reasonable maximum footage retention times, a sensible usage policy to ensure it is not abused, and finally a review of all our laws focused on protecting the public rather than persecuting them.
