observer Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 See our MP has been chirping on about CCTV, something which the UK appears to have more of than anyone else; however CCTV isn't a silver bullet and doesn't prevent crime - merely records it. It might help if this Government, instead of de-motivating the Police with a pay squabble; were to concentrate on getting more uniforms onto our streets, with faster response times to incidents; then perhaps coppers would arrive BEFORE residents get kicked to death by some moronic yobs..

Steve the Original Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 It may not prevent crime but it can help clear up the odd crime by showing who done what and when.. I would like to see CCTV in our town.. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted August 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Errm, and how does that help the victim? They're dead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve the Original Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 It doesnt but those who commit the crime get caught or at the least a little easier to be convicted,also if they cams are run by the Police they might just get there in time(well you can wish) Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little fella Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I have better not complain, people get upset, but just to point out the camera's are run by the council not the police. The police can have a feed off the camera if the council want the police to watch. Our wonderful council do a cracking job. That should not upset anyone should it?

McBain Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Unfortunately the quality of most CCTV camera imagery is lamentable leading to difficulties in identification. Install it by all means but make sure it is "fit for purpose" otherwise don't bother! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve the Original Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Ste; prevention is better than cure. Quote true but untill dixon of dock green is out ont he beat then the cameras will have to do but they should be run by the Police not the council McBain quite right its called saving money at the wrong end, theres a lot of good equipment out there that isnt much more expensive than the lower of the range kit on the market..
