Has happened in my case where they see the culprit but the face is too blur to convict him. But I actually post this to say to Anil, please stop taking just one instance of something that doesn't work in UK and applying a broad brush to the whole world. Get more info from other countries. You did this with the free wifi for Penang, where you took some uninformed writer's post that said 'wifi could harm an individual with radio waves'. All the gullible people just took the same position that you did without fact checking. You have to stop this. You're an educated man, are you not? I agree with Callum.

Megapixels is simply the horizontal dimension multiplied by the vertical dimension in pixels. If your size image is (resolution) a 3,235,428 pixel image rounded to 3.3 Megapixel. Mega means million. This is the high quality IP megapixel security camera for your most high importance needs. Quality is the amount of compression applied to the image in the camera. The higher the quality the larger the file size will end up being, but in terms of recognision, the courts will be thanking you delightfully.

Such surveillance will be impossible without the help of high end CCTV cameras, that’s monitoring non-stop around the clock.

I too came across this article about this debacle in UK today.

Of course CCTV works in UK. For whoever got the fat supply & the more lucrative maintenance contracts! Likewise in M’sia.

The fact is, hanging, electric chair, lethal injection, gassing, caning/whipping, life sentences with hard labour, all have one thing in common – overall crime rates in the world have not decreased! Even with amputation in the Middle East!

If anything, they have increased, especially sexually violent rapes and killings. Do we not all weep for every Nini or Shalin?

If CCTV has not worked in the UK as a crime deterrent, then it is unlikely to do any better in M’sia. The answer is not to treble or quaruple the number of CCTV’s and herald the arrival of the dangerous ‘Big Brother’ and the completely Dictatorial and Police States of ’1984,’ ‘A Clockwork Orange,’ and ‘Gattica’.

Like prostitution, few enter the world of crime by choice. I am not an apologist to the likes of robbers, killers, rapists and child molesters. Nor to do I readily subscribe to Freudian theories of Oedipus, mother and sexual repression as universal causes of sexual crimes.

4. rapid urbanisation, with huge migration of populations from rural to urban areas

I am sure there are many more fundamental reasons why an ordinay straight-thinking person will drift towards crime.
