CCTV in schools [bigbrotherwatch.org.uk] are in bathrooms and changing rooms. The GOVERNMENT controls these cameras and tries to assure us that the footage from these cameras is secure. Bullshit.
I've seen websites which show photographs and map locations of CCTV cameras covering public spaces and coverage areas. Problem is I think they've been taken down citing national security concerns, and I can't remember URLs. I would like to see such sites up again.'Cos you know what? CCTV cameras have NEVER been the single deciding factor in solving crime. Why? Because they're too low resolution. At 20m, you'd be hard pushed to separate eyes on a face at 320x240 with 90-degree field coverage (and that's pretty narrow for a CCTV eye). They do NOT prevent crime, as the Home Office's own figures show, that since the most CCTV'd city in the world - London - has never had a year in its history where the crime rate has dropped.

Dazzle face paint defeats virtually all CCTV database face recognition programs.
You can also get kerchiefs that have dazzle patterns on them.

Orwell, The Clash, and Chris Farley, and all of it in 13 words. Well done.
