'Since the cameras were switched on, crime has plummeted compared to November last year.
'So far, police have made 100 arrests, with a third being for offences of violence against women and girls including strangulation and sexual assault.
'Others include those wanted on recall to prison and for burglary and possession of offensive weapon offences.'
The article quotes a false positive rate of 1 in 33,000. A promise to pay the victim of a false positive £10,000 for the first occurrence would help convince me that there isn't an issue. Second time £20,000, third £40,000 etc. If they're really confident, they won't have a problem with this, will they?
