No we don’t. 80% of the cameras out there in your statistic don’t actually exist. From what remains, 25% are dummies, 25% don’t work, 25% are potato quality and what remains are staffed by people who aren’t even paying attention.

It’s a typical British implementation of surveillance. The only winners are CCTV installers.

"every block" was a bit of hyperbole, but any American would be shocked at this visibility and acceptance of these kind of cameras. You can argue that the quality makes them ineffective right now but that can be iterated on, especially as cost is reduced. I don't think it's an unreasonable thing to express a good deal of concern over.

Long may our governments be hopelessly incompetent.
