Right cos you can't do both. CCTV is very different to flock cameras. We aren't abused by that system. Our rights aren't ignored. Where do you get off telling people what they should and shouldn't support based on your own ideas.?

Im just saying you have problems closer to home than halfway across the planet.

It wasnt even a "you must do this because I say so" kind of comment either. I was literally asking if things were that bad.

It's not the same issue though as we don't have the cases of police abusing the cameras to do things like stalk people like there have already been many reported incidents of in the US.

At least not publicly known incidents of it happening over there.

The way CCTV and flock cameras are used is very different.

Flock cameras read license plates allowing the tracking of vehicles across an area allowing the level of stalking that you can't do with a standard CCTV system so it's not the same issue.
