England vs. America

What really pisses me off is the CCTVs keeping an eye on the Surveillance cameras.

Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em,
and little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.

and so it goes for CCTV cameras

UK democracy:

The people decided that they need to spy on themselves by putting cameras everywhere. Because they don't trust themselves???

CCTVs were thought to be deterrent to anti-social behaviour. But no-one is watching the camera feeds all the time. They are used post-crime, to review what happened. So 99% of the time being caught on one doesnt even get seen. I dont know where the craze for CCTV started, though I remember it being used successfully to catch the London Nail Bomber, David Copeland.
