The US and China have over twice as many CCTV cameras per person than the UK does. https://www.precisesecurity.com/articles/top-10-countries-by-number-of-cctv-cameras https://www.precisesecurity.com/articles/top-10-countries-by...
- itronitron 3y agoIt would be interesting to do some sort of analysis based on geography and population density. If someone travels 40 kilometers per day as part of their usual routine then more CCTV cameras will be needed to record their activities. Both the US and China are significantly larger than the UK.

Try having your car stolen in London, despite there being several cameras visible on every corner police will tell you(truthfully) that they don't have access to any of them.
