[QUOTE="RapidRPM, post: 1535444, member: 521162"] I think CCTV is fine, if I am walking alone at night or in a rough area I would feel safer knowing that criminals will be deterred by CCTV cameras. DNA databasing is more conditional, it should only be used by the police and so long as nobody else has access to the information so it cannot be used by third parties like insurance companies or employers. I don't like the idea of the police being able to see what websites I'm going on, the email and letters I get and send, my text messages and my phonecalls. I think this is an extreme invasion of members of the public privacy and should not be allowed. I don't think collecting this information is really going to be much help in solving crime. They will be overloaded with data and most of it won't contain any evidence of criminal activity. [/QUOTE]
