> As people have theoretically become freer, they seem to seek more security. Blanketing a city with CCTV seems to be a pragmatic trade-off for personal safety.
Is there informed consent for CCTV, or does it just happen when technology vendors end up working with politicians, the former caring only about selling their product, the latter caring about only getting re-elected?
My son's kickboard scooter was stolen last month, he left it parked less than 20 paces from the front entrance to his school, in a courtyard with only one way in and out.
There's no CCTV.
Despite the theft, I'm still against the use of CCTV, particularly around schools.
