fair point.
Large cities primarily: Istanbul, London, Belgrade, Prague are some examples.
I understand they have a purpose for genuine security incidents, such as terrorism attacks, but the lack of transparency in their day to day recording is a concern.
I've taken photos of many locations, I'll add them to the map.

- Symbiote 10y agoThat can depend -- at least in London, many government-controlled cameras were initially installed for terrorism prevention and investigation. (Just last week someone was arrested for leaving a bomb at a station, although this is now very rare compared to the 1980s-1990s.) The majority of cameras are privately owned, and are supposed to prevent normal crime. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_of_steel_(London) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_of_steel_(London) http://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/tube-bomb-suspect-damon-smith-19-charged-over-north-greenwich-explosives-plot-a3379741.html http://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/tube-bomb-suspect-damon...
