My brother had his window smashed and bag stolen under a cctv camera in London. The police never even investigated.
replyI would hazard to say that wouldn't have happened had a police officer been stood there instead.
Some major shops in the UK have photographs of police officers on the door, because it reduces theft!
I think this says more about dwindling police budgets than about the efficacy of surveillance or bobbies on the beat.
