Interesting Facts

According to the Guardian newspaper, only 3% of London street robberies are solved with the help of CCTV evidence. (This is in spite of the fact that Britain had more CCTV cameras than any other European country. A spokesperson said that officers often avoided trawling through CCTV images "because it's hard work". Why not put them up on YouTube, and let the public do it?)

There is a CCTV camera for every 14 people in the UK. (The Surveillance Studies Network report says there are up to 4.2m CCTV cameras in the UK. It reminds me of a Police song:- Every breath you take Every move you make Every bond you break Every step you take Ill be watching you.)
