UK has 1% of world's population but 20% of its CCTV cameras
Experts have called for a halt in the spread of CCTV cameras.
Britain is now being watched by a staggering 4.2million - one for every 14 people and a fifth of the cameras in the entire world.
The Royal Academy of Engineering also warned that lives could be put at risk by the lurch towards a 'big brother' society in which the Government and even supermarkets hold huge amounts of personal information on us.
It said any system was vulnerable to abuse - including bribery of staff and computer hackers gaining acc
Number of crimes caught on CCTV falls by 70 per cent, Metropolitan Police admits
Prosecutions linked to CCTV have fallen in parts of Britain, raising questions about the true impact of the security cameras.
The drop has raised fears that the effectiveness of CCTV has been exaggerated. Prosecutions in Britain's largest force fell once it changed the way detections linked to cameras were recorded.
The Metropolitan Police saw the number of solved crimes linked to CCTV drop by more than half in just five years. Other forces are expected to have seen a similar effect.
Britain has the most CCTV cameras per head of any country in the world, with people said to be caught on camera as many as 300 times a day.

Lol! The only ones to fear CCTV cameras are those up to no good! To be honest, given the scum that roams our sytreets these days, I am glad we have them. People like me have nothing to fear from them.

Last time I was in London and riding the tube it gave me the creeps to know that I was being filmed.
UK riots: police round on government
Met chief dismisses criticism from PM and home secretary as 'people making comments who weren't there'
The officer at the helm of the Metropolitan police this morning took a swipe at the government's criticism of his force's handling of the riots.
-snip-"What I can say is that with the unprecedented scenes that we found in London, I have got some of the best commanders that we have seen in the world that showed great restraint as well as great courage," Godwin said.
"As a result of that we were able to nip this in the bud after a few days. I think the issue around the numbers, the issue around the tactics they are all police decisions and they are all made by my police commanders and myself.
"As a result of that we have now got a lot of public support, we are working hard to identify all the offenders and we will continue to work relentlessly if it takes us months."
Sir Hugh Orde, president of the Association of Chief Police Officers, rejected Theresa May's claim that she had ordered the "more robust" approach that quelled rioting in English cities.
Orde said tactics had changed because more officers were made available. The fact that MPs had come home from holiday was "an irrelevance".
May had "no power whatsoever" to cancel all police leave, Orde said. "The more robust policing tactics you saw were not a function of political interference; they were a function of the numbers being available to allow the chief constables to change their tactics," he told BBC's Newsnight.
Again and again, the judges repeated the refrain "jurisdiction is declined". They considered the maximum powers of sentencing available to magistrates – six months in prison, or a £5,000 fine – to be insufficient, and so referred the case to the crown courts, where the cases will be heard before a jury. Very few of the accused were granted bail. At least one solicitor outside court six expressed concern at some of the courts' decisions, on a day when David Cameron had vowed that anyone charged with rioting should be remanded in custody and anyone convicted should expect to go to jail.
Rajinder Claire, who was representing several alleged rioters, said defendants who would normally be released on bail were being routinely remanded in custody. "The decisions seem to be being taken in a routine manner without enough consideration for the distinct factors of each case," he told reporters, "It certainly seems to me that it is being motivated by political pressure."
Certainly there were indications, in the comparatively small number of cases that reached sentencing, that magistrates across the country were in little mood for leniency.
In Manchester, Eoin Flanagan, 18, pleaded guilty to theft after he was arrested in Oxford Road with two jumpers and two pieces of musical equipment; he was jailed for eight months.
At Camberwell Green magistrates, Nicholas Robinson, 23, an electrical engineering student with no previous convictions, was jailed for the maximum permitted six months after pleading guilty to stealing bottles of water worth £3.50 from Lidl in Brixton. He had been walking back from his girlfriend's house in the early hours of Monday morning when he saw the store being looted, his lawyer said, and had taken the opportunity to go in and help himself to a case of water because he was thirsty. He was caught up in the moment, and was ashamed of his actions, his defence said.
I wonder....I read that a lot of teen programs were cut to reduce the debt. What will be the cost of keeping these people in jail in comparison?

Cameras in a Public place that are there for Security are there for Security, Einstein. I would be offended if they did not utilize the resource.
We already have them in toilets! Britain has 1% of the world's population and 20% of it's CCTV cameras. We have been asleep while we became a surveillance society.

I just saw on the news that a 68 year old man who tried to stop looters setting fire to
a shop has died from his injuries caused by his brave action. Ravi said a while back that
she hopes someone comes up with an answer to all this soon. Sadly, I don't think there
is an answer. Money has been thrown at these problems for years to no avail. What can
you do about useless men having sex with pathetic women and producing children they
don't look after properly? A lot of the so called fathers just walk away to produce more
children elsewhere. It has been getting steadily worse for many years. I truly don't envy
politicians who search for solutions.

Indeed, thats a problem here in the US too, idiots having children. I don't know what can be done unless a program is started that offers a cash bonus for every man and woman who comes forward to get a vasectomy or their tubes tied.

You are sweet Ravi, but clueless. Sorry. When was the last time you entered a shop that did not have surveillance? Why is that you suppose? Private Property Surveillance, Commercial Property Surveillance? Bank Surveillance? 7-11, Mass Transit? Why is that?
Are there boundaries and limits? Yes, as there should be. Bath Rooms, Changing Rooms, should be off limits, any area that requires privacy should be.
Why go there Ravi? Why inject false notion? Slow news cycle day? No.
