Not as much as police patrol though..
I understand the civil liberties view, yet as a woman when walking alone I can't help but feel they are a reassuring presence.

I used to be the same but when we had our own private CCTV installed we actually had the police at our door asking to look at it when someone was murdered down the street, when we asked them what was wrong with the CCTV cameras on the street they said none of them were facing in the right direction, so that's 4 different camera along one street and they were all facing the wrong way.
Same thing happened again when the shop over the road was vandalised.

Theres virtutally no cats round here and its a nice neighbourhood but with this happening were getting it in. The other bloke across the road actually installs it and theres a few have it already in the street. I think its a good idea.

Is that private CCTV that you are installing though or is it the ones the police use?
