Ironically, Britain is said to have more state-operated cameras than anywhere else on Earth (but it still cannot solve 80% of its crimes). It seems that the more cameras the state uses, the fewer it allows ordinary citizens to use. This may be a manifestation of a psychiatric illness on the part of the some administrators, who have placed cameras into a god-like position that only they are allowed to officiate.
They can outlaw it all they want. I've been making videos and stills in public places for several years now using nicely concealed cameras; good, sharp face-to-face dialogues with sales people, police and security guards in high def. They can never catch up with anyone who really wants to record this stuff without getting caught.
