CCTV walk in Halifax
This past Saturday I found myself with an hour to kill downtown. I had my camera with me and my GPS-equipped blackberry, so I decided to do a quick inventory of surveillance cameras. I only took photos of cameras that are in public spaces or were pointed at public spaces.
At best, CCTV cameras have crime move into other, previously unaffected areas. There are no scientific studies supporting the effectiveness of large-scale CCTV deployment.

I think such type of cameras increases security level of a sensitive place.
