CCTV has failed to cut crime despite huge investment in camera systems, a senior police officer has said.

Det Chief Insp Mike Neville, head of Scotland Yard's Visual Images, Identifications and Detections Office (Viido) said cameras do not act as a deterrent as many criminals assume they are not working.

And he admitted some police officers do not want to look through CCTV images "because it's hard work".

DCI Neville said only 3% of London's street robberies had been solved using CCTV images.

"and as such we'll continue to invest in more and more cameras until they cover every inch of the Country and can make you feel like you are being monitored wherever you go, whatever you're doing so that your sense of freedom is eroded and no one bothers to stand up for themselves anymore."

I'd be interested to know what proportion of street robberies were solved by any other method to be honest, becasue I bet it's not that many.

So they didn't stop any then. Also, define "solved"?

That's the first time I've heard that spy cameras are meant to be a deterrent. If they are meant to be a deterrent why do they hide them? There's a whole road of the things in Southampton here they are designed to look like street lamps. I've been in a few supermarkets which have been infested with the black dome type cameras. One on every aisle it seems. It was horrible! These are not designed to be a deterrent at all.
