Surveillance Cameras in Britain Not Effective?

zymurgy_cat writes "An interesting piece in The Christian Science Monitor questions whether or not the 4 million plus cameras in Britain are effective in deterring crime. It touches upon the usual issues of privacy, who has access to the tapes, and so forth. Despite this, people still seem to prefer the cameras."

    The Christian Science Monitor is also against cameras as it might capture a glimpse of evolution....

    Is it just me or do others have a tough time believing any stories coming from a group which debates modern scientific advances with select counter arguements such as 'intelligent design'???

    When your constitution doesn't enable just about anybody to obtain a firearm and then use it at will, then you can lord it over us Brits. Until then, you just enjoy your ghetto paradise and drive-bys, and we'll make do with being fingerprinted as standard when we're arrested for a crime.

    How can anyone read that piece of crap paper. The two words, Christian and Science, are mutually exclusive.
