Ah, good point. Although, having studied the DPA (1998) a fair bit, a recent ACPOS report concluded that somewhere in the region of 90% of all CCTV cameras nationwide, did not comply with the DPA. I think they have a use, but especially with this govt that couldn't look after a box of Maltesers, I have a few issues with that.[/quote
Problem is too that people want the police do 'do something' about crime but aren't willing to do anything themselves. If you watch any CCTV of what happens at nights in our towns and cities with hundreds of drunks ( or worse actually be there) it's hard to know how to police these situations without CCTV.
I would disagree with the fact the government can't look after anything....they are doing very well for themselves and their allowances!!
