Huge investment in close-circuit TV technology has failed to cut UK crime, a senior police officer has warned.
Det Ch Insp Mike Neville said the system was an "utter fiasco" - with only 3% of London's street robberies being solved using security cameras.
Although Britain had more cameras than any other European country, he said "no thought" had gone into how to use them.

A Policeman Yesterday
What a surprise! ::)
Millions of cameras covering everybody’s movements (?) yet they don’t stop crime. Why? At a guess I’d suggest that criminals either go somewhere else or wear a ‘hoodie’ so they can’t be recognised…
I bet they’ve got billions of hours of footage of unidentified ‘hoodies’ committing crime. noooo:
Just think how many police patrols all those cameras, control centres and operators would have paid for! Banghead

Just put on cross-hairs and attach a rifle.
I would volunteer to do my stint operating the remote. evil:

IN some parts of the country they have loudspeakers. Someone shouts "Oy, you.Stop doing that". And they don't stop doing it.
Science. A wonderful thing.

The wedding reception will decide his fate
If, when the spotlight falls upon his shiny pate
Poetry he spouts instead of a speech
Landlady, with a mighty screech
Will remove forever his ability to mate.

Tell me about a woman who does not have a handbag containing nail file, nail scissors, emery boards, needle and thread and various other items capable of inflicting serious harm to your nether regions.
My first wife could remove yer bollox with a look! scared2:

Getting briefly back on topic again its hardly surprising that CCTV isnt stopping crime. Most of the feral scrotes that are caught on camera want copies of the footage afterwards to put on youtube and the like. Being filmed breaking the law is another badge of honour for them.
