Two wrongs don't make a right as they say. I think it is far more dangerous in the long term to continue down this path. The UK already has the most CCTV per capita in the world, we don't need any more intrusion.

The problem is the knee-jerk reaction with these problems where the state always wants to enforce more controls on the people. In Australia for instance they have recently been going on about the binge-drinking problem and without a second thought the state decided to embark on several new controls on the citizens behaviour.
