Don't know if any of you saw this program last week? But I really enjoyed watching it.
It just shows that the thousands and millions of pounds spent on CCTV equipment is actually helping, not to prevent but as a fight against anti social behaviour. I don't think there is any prevention to anti-social behaviour.
These new 'speaking' cameras costing £40,000 to install in Middlesborough seemed very effective.
Also, the punishments for all the offences shown were all appropriate and not too leanient.
One of the videos showed an innocent man in Glasgow getting his head kicked in whilst waiting at a bus stop. The offender was sentanced to 30 months imprisonment which I thought was very fair considering how violent he was.
I don't mind being monitored by all this CCTV, it makes for a safer community.
What about you?
Do you mind being caught on CCTV around 30 times a day?
