How many CCTV cameras are you caught on each day?

A lot, I hope. This would keep me relatively safe.

I guess I need to get a hat... I thought i was safe.

One possible use I've heard for the future seems to be that when they have everyone's DNA on record they can instantly find them if their DNA appears at a crime scene.

If I just go to work, then probably none,as I think they only use fake CCTV at my workplace. If I do anything much else, involving going to town and through the shopping centre, then dozens, because they like having kids running around the shopping centre without needing supervision.

CCTV camera are every where in California. At ATMs, at stores, at banks, in parking garages, one the freeways (so tv stations can show pictures of traffic flows), at stop lights (to catch people who run the light), and in a bunch of other places I can't think of right now.

Yep, all this and more! Over this last few years private security cameras have been popping up on peoples houses, some of the ones in the town centre who might be getting tired of kebab wrappers on their doorsteps, but also larger more expensive houses are having them fitted as well.

The borough council spent a load of money on setting up a camera network in the local town centres and major roads joining them. You can get from A to B on foot without getting caught, but its a pain in the arse. The town centres do seem a lot safer and the previous very low level of violence and crime has all but dissappeared.

of course all the chavs wear caps and hoodys so the cameras arent going to catch their faces anyway

Wish we had them around the crime areas.

CCTV cameras are actually useful in preventing crime though.

It's a shame to hear that Canadian Television has fallen so hard for the reality TV craze. They used to produce decent programming, and now Canadians are reduced to watching Londoners scratching their balls on the way to the pub. Oh Canada indeed!
