The 'Bladerunners' are right

I thought they couldn't usually do anything with CCTV footage? Certainly when my catalyst got nicked and the whole thing was caught on CCTV, including the chaps face as he passed through the gatehouse at work (yes, its a secure carpark and the numbskulls on the gate just waved this guy through without checking if he was who he said he was) police said they couldn't do anything with it. Had the face, the car he was driving, the plates etc etc.

A lot of CCTV is also far too grainy and pixelated to use as proof for anything. It just seems a bit pointless in reality. I mean you get robbed and all you have is a grainy video of you being robbed. It doesn't change anything, you're still missing your stuff and the perps are still getting away with it. In my case, all I learned was that they came on site, and 8 minutes later, left with my catalyst in their boot. Not really all that useful in the grand scheme of things. Thankfully work paid to have it put right! Which I guess was one useful outcome of the CCTV. But as far as the police were concerned, nothing they could do with the footage.

I'm visiting from Kent in a few days time, am I exempt? NO I have to pay.

To be honest, all the drivers here in Shropshire are too pissed to worry about speed cameras.

Probably the same thing that happened to the 2-term limit for London Mayor.

This

I think it does only count when it suits. Cuts both ways, doesn't it. Since people are objecting to it now but it is going to be implemented before the next election the mayor and his supporters are saying the will of the people doesn't mean anything because we're doing it and you can't stop us.

Sean Bailey was a terrible candidate, the charisma of an old mid-sized Mitsubishi.

I think with issues of this nature where something really significant is going to happen there is a tendency for British public to get hoodwinked into going along with it because really they're used to nothing really changing so it is a surprise when issues like this come up.

Brexit is a perfect example of this. People voted time after time for political parties, both Labour and Conservative who brought us tighter and tighter into the European Union to the point where I sovereignty had all but completely disappeared.

You could use the same defence but in the end the will of the people was at odds with what the officials and politicians were doing. They knew this as they always dressed it up as a financial benefit because they knew that was an easy sell to voters.

Give it a few days to run but I'd love to see the Venn diagram between the people advocating locking up protesters on the JSO/XR and "lefty protesters I don't like" thread and the people saying what this lot are doing is absolutely fine.

Your link doesn't mention that statistic, and it doesn't pass the sniff test of being plausible. It mentions 5.2 million cameras in the UK, which would suggest only 20 million cameras globally? Hikvision alone sell over 50 million cameras per year.

Not once there's a camera in every lamppost

Seems like an appropriate response to the so called democracy we live under. If people can support Just Stop Oil blocking roads and those SUV tyre deflator people, I don't see why others cannot support this.
