Although I have heard similar assessments before, a new study shows that the UK surveillance society isn’t protecting against crime. With more than 10,000 CCTV cameras in London, crime in general has not improved.
At the very least, it shows that the stated goal isn’t working. In the more cynical view, it was never supposed to. The government has successfully convinced the people that they need a nanny state in order to further their own goals. Sounds familiar here in the US.
