Oh dear oh dear. Bullshit is not strong enough a word for this.
1) as a brit I am not aware that ANYONE has EVER been nabbed for doing something their own home caught on CCTV - they point down streets, not into windows
2) two years ago city centre CCTVs picked up a teengae girl being snatched in the street in yorkshire by a guy at 1am and dragged into a park - cop cars from all different directions where on the scene in minutes and grabbed the guy. God knows what would have happened otherwise. I've got two teenage daughters and this one got to me.
3) nobody in the uk complains about CCTV cams but everyone complains about speed cams on roads (as do I), which is a DIFFERENT THING ENTIRELY.
4) your knowledge of my country is obviously superficial and stupid. shut the fuck up.
