Re: You may not be paranoid

Worst part I feel is that more survalance seems to be the only responce we can get out of the law system for increasing safty -- Rubbish. Cameras don't stop crime, just just mean that the criminals wear a hoody (+balaclaver/scarf in cold weather) to hide thier face if they intened on the crime - and if its spontainious - well the crime is commited and the damage already done to the victim - so the camera has not helped there.
To add salt to the wound many of the cameras are of very poor quality - thus if you are a victim there is a good chance that any camera photos of the event are so blurry that nothing will come of them (and yet they can track you and innocent very well with a blurry camera)

Its a painfull cycle we are in as police forces are made smaller and smaller and yet crimes are in no way getting any less .
