I was interested to read this http://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/2009/07/21/speed-cameras-under-siege-in-north-wales-55578-24199592/ from the Daily Post.
It seems that people living in the principality are waging a war against CCTV and showing their dislike over the spy in the sky.
It reminds me of when cameras first began to controversially appear almost 20 years ago. They used to say - and still do - that if you have done nothing wrong, then you have nothing to fear.
But, obviously, over time, they have moved the goal posts somewhat. 20 years ago, for example, smoking was not a crime that could get the smoker an £80 penalty for dropping a cig end.
Would we really have ignored the future impact of CCTV on "innocent" people if we had known it would lead to such oppression of law-abiding citizens?
Personally, I think that CCTV is largely a waste of time and money. We employ police to do what they used to do before cameras did the work for them - find criminals and stop crime from happening. CCTV today doesn't stop serious crime but simply shows it taking place... and it works more as a tax collector for HM revenue than a useful tool in the war on crime - especially when it comes to motorists.
