It seems the use of CCTV to fight crime is a failure in the UK...
Interesting that there are over 1,000,000 cameras in London alone.
And 4,000,000 throughout the UK.

An internal report released by the Metropolitan Police under Freedom of Information laws disclosed that more than one million of these are in London alone.
However, it cast doubt on the use of the cameras as a crime fighting tool.
It said: “For every 1,000 cameras in London, less than one crime is solved per year.”

Britain has 1 per cent of the world’s population but around 20 per cent of its CCTV cameras - which works out as the equivalent of one for every 14 people.

I wouldn't call it a complete failure although every single camera don't pick up all petty crimes in the country. While america is still searching for Bin Laden even now, Britan has managed to capture all of their terrorists - and also prevented a terrorist attack just one day before a planned bomb was to be set-off.
Why should I be concerned if some public (police) or private (Wal-mart) organization is taping my activities? I am going to do what ever I damn well please anyway. If some of my activities are illegal then I should be caught. I am always responsible for what I do. Why should I worry about you watching?

LOL....
Why should you be concerned if the security services demand to search your person or your home...unless you have something to hide.
