An anonymous reader writes "The United Kingdom has the most surveillance cameras per capita in the world. With the recent news that CCTV cameras do not actually deter crime, how can the local town councils justify the massive surveillance program? By going after pooping dogs. Recent reports in the UK indicate that local town governments have been using anti-terrorism laws and the large number of CCTVs to combat petty crimes. Those crimes include the owners of pooping dogs, public littering, the misuse of a disabled parking pass, and someone who was working while receiving sick benefits. Sure, these are crimes, but this is not what the sweeping anti-terrorism laws were intended for. Government over-reach, or a good thing? You decide."
