Re: Increased usage of CCTV

The problem with CCTV is it is now being used outside of the original remit. Recently laws have been passed to allow CCTV footage to be used to catch parking violations, however, this is being abused by over zealous and money hungry councils. I've seen numerous reports whereby motorists stopped for less than 10 seconds are being given parking fines on the basis of CCTV footage. It's ridiculous but we let it happen.
