London Police Credit CCTV Cameras With Six Solved Crimes Per Day

Posted by Soulskill on from the now-to-be-installed-in-your-home dept.

stoilis writes "CCTV cameras across London help solve almost six crimes a day, the Metropolitan Police has said. According to the article, 'the number of suspects who were identified using the cameras went up from 1,970 in 2009 to 2,512 this year. The rise in the number of criminals caught also raises public confidence and counters bad publicity for CCTV.'"

    Maybe if they stick a camera up my arse, they could help me with my hemorrhoids!

    But then you'd have polaroids, which can be much more painful.
