Although, you know the pros and cons. They don't watch the camera until they need to. Since crimes in the UK are not 'gun' oriented, they happen at a closer distance to the victim. (knives, and/or direct contact). So, it kinda works ok here. Most people are only going to get caught picking their nose unless there is a reason to actual go through the footage (due to a crime). @monkey agreed. Although, you know the pros and cons.

But, it’s not as bad as ‘google street view’
