It appears that the collosall investment made by the UK government in CCTV has had little or no affect on crime rates or crime solving. Now, based on the fact that the system doesn't work, they want to pump more money into it and increase the size of databases.
Personally, I think this has little to do with minimizing 'street crime' which is a small percentage of the overall crime statistics, and much more to do with increased surveillance of the law abiding populace for whatever end use the government deems necessary.
It can't be good when a systems intended purpose has been shown to be ineffective and then it's spun to a point where that system is to be expanded.
