What a silly idea to suggest CCTV cameras will prevent crime. If someone is too drunk to know not to smash someone else’s face then he is clearly also incapable of recognising a CCTV camera or considering the implications. All the cameras will do is provide free footage of an assault to our ghoulish TV media. Just close the pubs at a reasonable hour.

Dont agree entirely. I agree the media are a bunch of irresponsible savages that cant wait to spray everything that is violent and sickening across our TVs and internet just to out do eachother. I mean come on; have you seen Nine MSN lately? Its like a bad cross between American Action News and The National Inquirer.
But I think CCTV is the way, because those same stupid idiots that commit crimes right underneath them, do get caught. Even if its after the fact; its better than not at all.
I had to investigate the serious bashing of one of our former employees recently outside the front of our then business. Got the guys clearly on CCTV, they were ALL arrested not long after and went to Court. It didnt help him at the time; but we got the gutless bastards in the end.
Believe me; when your a victim, you’ll be glad they’re there.
