The latest research has shown that just one crime a year will be solved by the aid of CCTV cameras across the country. 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 do we need them if they are not solving any crimes – Where is the need in this in spy equipment? There is a unanamous dissapointment in the CCTV cameras around the country. How can they be this in-effective? There must be a solution. In my opinion it is only a matter of time before they have mobile phone tracking hooked up on all of us! OK - That may be a little over the top but it is logical to think that we are living in a big brother society right now.

Recent research has shown that the effectiveness of video surveillance is very useful in preventing cars being broken into and stolen. 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. It is somewhat proven that video surveillance technology is not all that useful and it creates a huge intrusion on everyday life. So what is the point? Why must we invest ridiculous amounts of money into this. So, what is the solution? What is the value of keeping these cameras in our streets anymore? Should we just get rid of all of these CCTV cameras? You would hope that something is being done to rectify this problem. I don’t think anyone was expecting that these statistics would be so low. Let’s see what happens..
