Feeling safer now?
Proponents of ID cards and CCTV always emphasise that they will increase people's safety. We know that ID cards are rubbish at stopping serious crime, because serious criminals (as well as suicide bombers) can get ID cards to suit their needs.
But what about CCTV? The UK has 100,000 of them and we're likely to be filmed 300 times in any one day. Yet the brutal killer of five women in Ipswich is able to wander about with impunity with no CCTV footage to give a hint of his movements.
