Why not push this energy into making your government agencies more efficient with what resources they have? The UK has tons of CC TVs in public -- still seems to have a high issue with shoplifting, pickpocketing, and other crime in public places.
Doesn't it alarm you to keep giving an inefficient potentially malicious actor more tools it can abuse?

But that's fine because they are "defending our privacy" ?
Or, do you want to try to make another suggestion ?
Meanwhile, criminality is thriving and we are powerless against it. Maybe we should try planting more trees and developing more socio cultural activities ?
Anyway, shouldn't you be against CCTVs because "if the state can see them streams then it means a hacker can see them too" ? I mean, I think that's the whole point being made here against this bill.
