    Is CCTV a breach in privacy? (URGENT, OPINIONS NEEDED!)
    Hi!

    I'm currently competing my controlled assessment for GCSE Citizenship. However, an aspect of my project requires me to find views of others, which i must further record in my project. The title is pretty self explanatory, I'm covering whether CCTV is a breach of privacy.

    My project needs opinions of others, so i would really appreciate some of your views on this topic, be that anything!

    - The average British citizen is captured 300 times on average every day.

    - The UK is apparently the "most watched" country in the world.

    - Some feel that CCTV is a breach to their right to 'privacy.'

    - CCTV is increasing, yet 80% of crime is still unsolved.


    Your views are much appreciated.

    Thank you so much!


    *Only comment if you are comfortable with me print-screening le comment and attaching it to my project. K, cool.

    1. The average British citizen is captured 300 times on average every day.

    2. The UK is apparently the "most watched" country in the world.

    3. Some feel that CCTV is a breach to their right to 'privacy.'

    4. CCTV is increasing, yet 80% of crime is still unsolved.
    1. So what ... I do not mind being captured ... I am not doing anything in public that I object to people seeing

    2. Really ... I doubt we are ... I imagine that we may have the most overt coverage but if we add in covert ... as I say I doubt we are

    3. CCTV is in public places ... there is no privacy in public

    4. This statistic is meaningless
