For all the CCTV cameras in the country only one crime will be solved according to the latest statistics released by the Government. Since the release of this information the public are in uproar over the excessive use of surveillance equipment in and around almost every city.
A local Chief Detective said officers should do more to make use of evidence captured by the cameras which are practically on almost every street corner around the country. Video surveillance and does not mix well with Joe public. The latest statistic does strongly emphasise the effectiveness of the CCTV cameras around the country. Why would we require CCTV if there is clearly no need for them – Where is the logic in spy equipment? Either way the people responsible for implementing these systems have some answering to do as their use is quickly being challenged by these latest figures to be released. In my opinion it is only a matter of time before they have mobile phone tracking hooked up on all of us! Granted, that may be a little over the top but none the less it is natural to believe that we are living in a big brother society.
Recent research has indicated that computer video surveillance has been the most useful in preventing vehicle thefts and vandalism in car parks. To help out with this problem people have been investing money into vehicle tracking devices which radically increases the chance of getting your car if it has been stolen. Yet the massive investment into video surveillance is still an enormous expense with little effectiveness and it creates a huge intrusion of human privacy but does not provide any improvement on our own security. What can we do? Why do we need these cameras in our streets anymore? Is there much point in these CCTV cameras? Why don’t we just get rid of them all? Im only assuming that no one from within the Government could predict these low statics in computer surveillance and you would hope that a solution would be in the pipeline. Lets see what happens..
