You are stating something that the parent comment explicitly says is not true. Quoting: > The vast majority of CCTV in the > UK is not networked, and owned by > small private companies ... So you say: > UK is being watched by a network > of 1.85m CCTV cameras. Your comment adds nothing to the discussion, and is contradicting the parent comment without evidence. Whether you are right or wrong, I suspect that's why you're being downvoted. If you flatly contradict someone without substantially adding to the discussion, that's what happens.
