Are you joking? Of course you do - you can't substantiate a claim like that with anecdotal evidence. This is the issue every time you bring this argument up - because your perception seems based almost exclusively on news headlines.

News headlines which indicate what is happening today.

Yes.... stories that are hand-selected by editors based on marketing criteria.

Just because the news media focuses more on certain types of stories it doesn't automatically translate to a quantitative increase in the number of cases.

You truly have your head in the sand. Like when considering your generalist approach to solving poverty in the ghettos, by means of education. I don't know if you grow up locked in your house or something or simply grew up in a ghetto yourself but the world has definitely changed from the days I was a kid. The problem facing American cities and obviously London considering their ridiculous crime rate is the rampant crime.

Hmmm... Never said that I'm afraid.

I've only ever said that education is one of several interrelated factors. Anything else you infer from that is on you. Certainly has nothing to do with me.

If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about.

Really?

Feel free to publish your real name, SSN, bank account details and private correspondence right here.

After all, you have "nothing to hide", right?

I always thought all those CCTV cameras were kinda creepy

The US needs them.

A lot of them in North / East DC for a start.

The US doesn't need them, thank you very much.

The police can do their job without all this fascist #######.

despite the huge volume of cctv cameras in the uk, crime still occurs.

We don't have guns for one thing.

You can always wear a mask and shoot the cameras with a paint ball gun instead of a real one.
