Unless you have a very good satellite dish or some tacky Brit TV company bought the rights for it. I can't imagine us getting entertained by tacky CCTV footage shows, can you? Seriously, though, if the system is registered for crime detection and prevention, how are they going to use the images in civil cases like shoplifting and recovery of the value of the goods and other costs? In a similar fashion, how will councils and others be able to use car park CCTV images to identify car park fee avoiders? How will employers use CCTV for disciplinary matters or contract compliance? How big will the signs be that have all these purposes on them?
