The talk will be followed by a Q & A session.
* What if all our assumptions about CCTV were wrong?
* What if you were told that surveillance cameras do not reduce crime - would you still be in favour of them?
* What is the difference between soviet style roadside checkpoints and Automatic Number Plate Recognition Cameras?
* Are CCTV cameras against the very principles of the Common Law that has underpinned our society for hundreds of years?
