It's just not worth it to me, as we should never trade civil liberties for security. Bad things just happen. I've been beaten up in a city centre, and i still have the scar, but you just take it and move on. These things have always happened, and camera's don't prevent these things from happening.

To just volunteer up rights for our own protection reveals a lot about our psyche.
I think it is worth it but I completely understand where you're coming from. Just in my opinion the line between protection and Big Brother Is Watching state depends entirely on the people in charge of that power and personally I've never felt threatened by it. It can't prevent bad things from happening but sometimes it can help solve crimes after they've happened and I'd rather rely on cold hard video evidence than a person's patchy memory as conclusive proof of something bad happening.
