Please do not go down the UK route Oz
 

POLICE will be given live access to closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV) from across WA in a bid to better monitor antisocial behaviour

Mr Johnson said he expected the system would see up to 6,000 cameras across WA linked to police access by the end of the year.
6000 is madness,

Dont see the problem here ??

They are not interested in anyone that is not doing anything wrong :)

So if you aint then dont worry ;)

If you are then you better watch out :sneaky:


Dougie :D

Agree with Dougie on this one, better to have them in my opinion. Help protect the innocent and maybe deter the idiots. :thumbup:

Re: Please do not go down the UK route Oz
 

Agreed !

And if you would like to Vote me into office i will also attach heat seeking missile launchers to the top of the CCTV to assassinate the ASBO's and idiots that way it will reduce the cost (to the taxpayer) of prosecuting these whoppers !!!





Dougie :p

Re: Please do not go down the UK route Oz
 

It isn't the fact of whether you are doing anything wrong or not - its the fact that they think they need 6,000 cameras in any event. seems like a nice safe place.

Re: Please do not go down the UK route Oz
 

Why is it madness? 6000 is NOTHING.

Re: Please do not go down the UK route Oz
 

Its the same as everywhere else, some dodgy places that you just do not visit but 6,000 is a massive number hen you think london has only 5,000

Crime still happens, CCTV cameras or no. I hate them with a passion.

Re: Please do not go down the UK route Oz
 

I think they'd be better getting two or three thousand really good ones instead of 6000 crap ones. All too often crime is captured on the cameras but they're so bloody fuzzy and out of focus that no one can recognise who's in the pictures. Kind of defeats the object really.

But I agree with Dougie though (not the heat seeking missile bit though ;)) if you're not doing anything wrong then why worry about them?

Be careful of what you wish for :lol:

might take the sugar off the doughnuts?

Re: Please do not go down the UK route Oz
 

I feel much safer somewhere that has lots of cctv cameras!

Re: Please do not go down the UK route Oz
 

Western Australia is a tiny bit bigger than London :D

Re: Please do not go down the UK route Oz
 

I think they already have the cameras in place, all that is happening is that the police will get access to them.
For example, there are 1500 transport cameras already there, which the police will have access to in a few months.

I like the heat seeking missile bit personally ;)

Re: Please do not go down the UK route Oz
 

...but with a lot less people. Are you expecting them to set up CCTV in the middle of the desert?

CCTV cameras are a waste of time and money and an invasion of privacy. There is no evidence anywhere that suggests they reduce overall crime.

..and to those who spout the "if you are doing nothing wrong what do you have to worry about?" argument. How would you feel about every man, woman and child being electronically tagged and your every move monitored by the State.... because obviously if you are doing nothing wrong you have nothing to worry about, right?.
