The Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe has recently suggested that an increase in private CCTV cameras would aid police in solving crime. Currently domestic CCTV is unregulated, and civil liberties organisations have raised concerns about an increase in privately owned CCTV being encouraged. How effective is London's current private CCTV network in assisting the police solve crime, and what expected results would there be from an increase in its use?
