    A senior Scotland Yard officer, Detective Chief Inspector Mick Neville, warned police must do more to head off a crisis in public confidence over the use of surveillance cameras.

    DCI Neville said officers need to improve their results to make captured images count against criminals.

    He said there are more than a million CCTV cameras in London and the Government has spent £500 million on the crime-fighting equipment.

    But he admitted just 1,000 crimes were solved in 2008 using CCTV images as officers fail to make the most of potentially vital evidence.

    Writing in an internal report, Mr Neville said people are filmed many times every day and have high expectations when they become victims of crime.

      looks like its a total waste of money, and they want to be able to install them in homes? the british gvt is as bad as ours when it comes to pissin off money.

      Olive Farmer Reply:

      The British Government is much better at it. They have robbed Britain for far longer, used its manhood to build empires of evil for far longer, subjugate its population far more than any other nation. They do it slyly, invisibly, propping up the artificial reality with superb deception.
      Where we all live, here on earth, a long term and intricate plan of deception has held us ALL and still does in a matrix of lies.

      The British monarchy, and the City of London’s leading Crown bankers, enthusiastically backed Hitler and the Nazis, bankrolled Hitler’s election, and did everything possible to build the Nazi war machine, for Britain’s planned geopolitical war between Germany and Russia. Support for Nazi-style genocide has always been at the heart of House of Windsor policy, and long after the abdication of Edward VIII, the Merry Windsors maintained their direct Nazi links. Not only was Prince Philip trained in the Hitler Youth curriculum, but his German brothers-in-law, with whom he lived, all became high-ranking figures in the Nazi Party.

      In fact, one of the central figures in the 1930s Nazi-British back-channel was Philip’s uncle and sponsor, Lord Louis Mountbatten (originally, Battenberg, a branch of the House of Hesse). Until he was forced to abdicate, King Edward VIII enjoyed the full backing of “Dickie” Mountbatten. Through much of World War II, secret channels of communication were maintained between the British royal family and their pro-Hitler cousins in Germany, by Lord Mountbatten, through his sister Louise, who was crown princess of pro-Nazi Sweden. Louise was Prince Philip’s aunt.

      General Washington Reply:

      The husband of Prince Philip’s sister Sophie, Prince Christoph, was embraced by the Nazis. Joining the Nazi Party in 1933, by 1935 Prince Christoph was chief of the Forschungsamt (directorate of scientific research), a special intelligence operation run by Hermann Goring, and he was also Standartenfuhrer (colonel) of the SS on Heinrich Himmler’s personal staff. The Forschungsamt used electronic intelligence-gathering methods to police the Nazi Party, while working with the Gestapo against the Catholic Church, the Jews, and labour organizations.

      The eldest of Prince Christoph and Sophie’s children was named Karl Adolf, after Hitler. Later, Prince Philip would promote his education. Prince Christoph’s brother, Philip of Hesse, married a daughter of the King of Italy, and became the official liaison between the Nazi and Fascist regimes.

      It is of course well documented that the British royal family originally came from Germany and changed its name from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor during the First World War.

      The Lunatics Have Taken Over the Asylum Reply:

      That’s right – they are not citizens. Same goes for the people of the British Commonwealth – subjects not citizens. As as New Zealander the head of my country is an absentee landlady and in the future it may be one of her brat-pack brood of neo-nazis.

      The received wisdom is that the British are the most advanced democracy on the planet.
      Of course the adoption of the survalence state is evidence that this is total fiction. We have seen how trecherous their foreign policy has been. At the end of the day people have no guaranteed rights under a monarch.

      The British have always been masters of propaganda and illusion. You only have to look the way they treated their empire – before they handed it over to the yanks. Power corrupts: absolute power absolutely.

      John Adams Reply:

      The NWO global conspirators manifest their agenda through the skillful manipulation of human emotions, especially fear. In the past centuries, they have repeatedly utilized a contrivance that NWO researcher and author David Icke has characterized in his latest book, The Biggest Secret, as PROBLEM, REACTION, and SOLUTION.

      The technique is as follows: Illuminati strategists create the PROBLEM – by funding, assembling, and training an “opposition” group to stimulate turmoil in an established political power (sovereign country, region, continent, etc.) that they wish to impinge upon and thus create opposing factions in a conflict that the Illuminati themselves maneuvered into existence. At the same time, the leader of the established political power where the conflict is being orchestrated is demonized and, on cue, referred to as ‘another Hitler’ (take your pick: Saddam Hussein, Milosevic, Kadaffi, etc.). In the spirit of true Machiavellian deceit, the same NWO strategists are equally involved in covertly arming and advising the leader of the established power as well (the Illuminati always profits from any armed conflict by loaning money, arming, and supplying all parties involved in a war).

      The conflict is drawn to the world stage by the controlled media outlets with a barrage of photos and video tape reports of horrific and bloody atrocities suffered by innocent civilians. The cry goes up “Something has to be done!” And that is the desired REACTION (note: the same technique is presently being used to bring about gun control in the United States).

      The NWO puppeteers then provide the SOLUTION by sending in UN ‘Peace Keepers’ (Bosnia) or a UN ‘Coalition Force’ (Gulf War) or NATO Bombers and then ground troops (Kosovo). Once installed, the ‘peace keepers’ never leave (Bosnia, Kosovo). The idea is to have NWO controlled ground troops in all major countries or strategic areas where significant resistance to the New World Order takeover is likely to be encountered.

      John Adams Reply:

      The New World Order (NWO) is being orchestrated by an extremely powerful and influential group of genetically-related individuals (at least at the highest echelons) which include many of the world’s wealthiest people, top political leaders, and corporate elite, as well as members of the so-called Black Nobility of Europe (dominated by the British Crown) whose goal is to create a One World (fascist) Government, stripped of nationalistic and regional boundaries, that is obedient to their agenda. Their intention is to effect complete and total control over every human being on the planet and to dramatically reduce the world’s population by 5.5 Billion people.

      In 1992, Dr. John Coleman published Conspirators’ Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of 300. With laudable scholarship and meticulous research, Dr. Coleman identifies the players and carefully details the Illuminati agenda of worldwide domination and control. On page 161 of the Conspirators Hierarchy, Dr. Coleman accurately summarizes the intent and purpose of the Committee of 300 as follows:

      “A One World Government and one-unit monetary system, under permanent non-elected hereditary oligarchists who self-select from among their numbers in the form of a feudal system as it was in the Middle Ages. In this One World entity, population will be limited by restrictions on the number of children per family, diseases, wars, famines, until 1 billion people who are useful to the ruling class, in areas which will be strictly and clearly defined, remain as the total world population. There will be no middle class, only rulers and the servants. All laws will be uniform under a legal system of world courts practicing the same unified code of laws, backed up by a One World Government police force and a One World unified military to enforce laws in all former countries where no national boundaries shall exist. The system will be on the basis of a welfare state; those who are obedient and subservient to the One World Government will be rewarded with the means to live; those who are rebellious will simple be starved to death or be declared outlaws, thus a target for anyone who wishes to kill them. Privately owned firearms or weapons of any kind will be prohibited.”

      Well there’s an obvious solution. They need to set up MORE cameras!!
      1,000 crimes solved for 1 million cameras means they need to set up 400 million more cameras.

      Maybe they can put cameras in old miner’s helmets and make everybody wear one……but make it fashionable.

      So it turns out that the cameras are not recording and videos are sent to a control centre showing up to 500 different cameras at the same time and are manned by one or two untrained council workers. I guess they are not being put up to make us safe after all.

      However there is one snoop order for every 17 people in the uk issued each year, you can be fined for putting your bins out on the wrong day or your dog fouling the park and they have no problem finding photo evidence of this

      They’re showing the people the cameras have nothing to do with deterring real crime, only for thought crimes. They’re probably hesitant to go back into tapes records to find out what happened, they’re just there to profile a large section of the population and let you know who’s boss.

    20. Ben Says:

      When british cops murdered a guy chosen at random, the London Underground cameras filmed it but the video was erased or hidden. Surveillance cameras are for insulting people. They are insulted when they are spyed upon and insulted again when evidence of their victimization is dumped.

      I’m not saying that CCTV is a bad idea. More to the point, OPEN CIRCUIT PUBLIC CAMERAS fed into centralised security systems COULD be a HUGE THREAT to our privacy. COULD clog our jails up due to increase effeciency (I’m not saying robbers, vandals & attackers should not be punished) but some laws are highly dubious (ie. drug laws, minor traffic offenses when no danger was present – 80mph on a very quiet strech of motorway etc., underage drinking..).

      Anti-social behaviour is not ALWAYS a problem… Political protests SHOULD be a right (as we can’t vote on issues, legislation or how OUR OWN tax contributions should be spent – page on the back of the income tax form…)

      The infrastructure COULD be abused by a TOTALITARIAN STATE. The gov. keep pushing the limits in this respect… A difficult debate. I know all this is OBVIOUS (pun intended). Centralised security is also POTENTIALLY and often ACTUALLY the biggest SECURITY HOLE our country FACES!!!

      In Oakland, Ca., they have private security walking the streets. YES! Walking the streets. They wear orange or blue uniforms. They look like a cross between park service employees and Bike Cops.
      Since Oakland police force is in shambles, the local businesses have all pitched in and pay the private security force themselves. It is weird to see it. It reminds me of what Obamas’ Citizens on Patrol would look like.
      As a local, I actually like it, ‘cuz it does create a safer atmosphere and there is less police presence. Citizens and businesses when left to their own resorces, can do a fine job policing themselves if it means less government involvement and a safer and friendlier environment. Sometimes a police presence can deter business as much as a gang presence.

      The PUBLIC cameras are mostly effective at petty TAX/FINE COLLECTION & occasionally (mostly ineffectively) vandalism prevention. I do think they work as a mild deterent to PETTY criminals breaking and entering (but will not stop HARDCORE criminals), and sometimes shoplifting (these are private cameras which is a different matter as owner has chosen to install).
