УжОсы города Лондона
Dec. 22nd, 2010 12:13 amКак известно, в Англии запрещены пистолеты, ножи и даже духовые ружья, чисто для спокойствия обывателя.

При этом в городе Лондоне установлено порядка миллиона камер наблюдения. Толку от них для предотвращения и раскрытия преступлений никакого, поскольку достаточно капюшона и мотциклетного шлема чтобы сохранить инкогнито. Ловят, следовательно, уж совсем больных на голову идиотов.

'They may reduce some categories of opportunistic crime such as theft, but they are small categories and the value of goods protected are minimal compared with the huge costs of installing camera networks.
'Britain has spent hundreds of millions of pounds and people have largely accepted the downside of CCTV in terms of intrusion into our privacy, as cameras increasingly creep from the streets into places like pubs and cinemas, and even our homes.
'But it is increasingly clear that the upside in terms of crime reduction is not being delivered. People see dramatic footage on television and assume the cameras have helped catch offenders, but often they just film a crime being committed.'
