Only 3% Of Crimes Solved By Use Of CCTV
Filed Under News, Opinion, UK Government
As we’ve seen that lollipop ladies are now getting cameras, it would seem that things must be going pretty well with the CCTV system the UK has in place. However, a senior Metropolitan policeman in the UK calls the system a “fiasco” with only “3% of crimes being solved by CCTV”. (Apparently the UK cops don’t want to look through the images taken by the cameras because it is “hard work” - cops are now too lazy to even watch TV?) While the article mentions that the top cop’s comments are probably just a thinly veiled attempt at getting more cash for his programmes, the fact remains that if the cops don’t even want to use the technology because it is “hard work” then the system amounts to little more than spying for the sake of spying.
