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.

This would seem to be a full-colour version of the test. I confess I was surprised to see the "Aahh! don't let people see the blots!" reaction as I've seen a couple of sites claiming to show the official blots before. Maybe they were cunning misdirection to keep folks from preparing for their psyc evaluation.

I just came back from a quick trip around Europe. On my week of riding on the continent I covered over 2000 miles and I saw about a dozen speed cameras, and only a few cctv cameras in the most public places. When I got back into the uk there was a pair of cctv cameras greeting all arrivals, and on the ride home I noted as many speed cameras (or at least their lines on the road to make you think there's a camera there) in the 300 miles home as in the entire previous week.
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.
