Criminals know how to defeat simple measures
Then clearly what we need are more complex measures:
* Higher resolution cameras for more accurate info
* Links between cameras so as someone moves out of sight of one the next one automatically picks them up and tracks them
* More cameras so that the dirty crims can't hide in an unobserved corner
* Gait recognition like this is aiming for so you can id someone without prints or a face
* Total removal of the right to privacy that the liberal terrorist sympathiser communists bleat on about all the time
While we're at it, what about
* compulsory ID cards so we can identify people when they are caught
* Tracking chips in your skull so we can do away with cameras all together
* Screens on every surface reminding us that it's for our protection.

To my knowledge europe hasn't been turned to rubble under a tide of terrorist actions, and the fact that the folks who blew up some tube trains and busses on 7/7 were captured on cctv didn't stop them blowing themselves up. It's almost as if all these anti-terror and anti-paedophile measures don't provide the safety for the masses that they are supposed to.
I'm forced to wonder why the government continues to push these things (along with ever-more intrusive communication surveilance as mentioned here in the past). The only conclusion I can draw is that they want more power for themselves and ability to thwart opposition, not terrorism. I may be paranoid, but V is looking more and more like a documentary every day.
