As I understand it, Portuguese law doesn't allow cameras to be placed where they might pick up members of the public.

I thought that was true, and I did read it somewhere.

BTW, while you were watching Colin Sutton on ITV there was a truly brilliant drama on C4 entitled “An Uncivil War” - catch it if you can.

Haven't seen it yet, but the Guardian critic doesn't rate it - though not sure if that's the acting or the content

The Independent rates it higher -

Apparently France has the same attitude to CCTV.

I think ATM's have them, but otherwise it's private property only. That means you can train a camera onto your front door or garden, but not onto the street outside your house.

No one does a lot of robbing around here.  But I suppose the time might come.

But in principal, I don't have a problem with CCTV.

Estrela is fully secure with a 24hr reception & CCTV so not at all like MW site.
Perhaps you would address the point in my post as to why no-one apparently noticed the CCTV & management failed to offer the tapes to the police immediately just in case there was something relevant on them.

Not sure why you are addressing the question to me. I think writing to the appropriate employees might be more productive.

I don't have a problem with it because I don't do anything wrong and it can do good. I expect those countries who have rejected it have reasons for doing so, however.

I suppose it will be to do with rights of the individual  and not wishing to introduce unnecessary surveillance into their society.

We don't actually need CCTV in this village.  Everyone sees everything.  Due to the boring rural lives we all lead.

I was converted on viewing the CCTV coverage of the two older children leading James Bulger from the shopping precinct to the place where they murdered him.

Until that time few people would have credited two young boys with such a crime.

I think CCTV probably saved lots of investigative time and deployment of personnel looking for an adult perpetrator because who would have given immediate thought to children.
"All I'm going to say is that we've conducted a very serious investigation and there's no indication that Madeleine McCann's parents are connected to her disappearance. On the other hand, we have a lot of evidence pointing out that Christian killed her," Wolter told the "Friday at 9"....

I don’t rate the Guardian, bunch of po-faced holier-than-thous.  The Times gave it four stars but best make your own mind up about it.

Oh I don't believe I am agreeing with you... but I do concur with those sentiments. I cried watching that cctv it just pierced my heart.

In Scotland all pubs must have CCTV cameras at the door , even if they have 'security'.

When you saw how the NOTW’s threat to publish information about the investigation before the suspect’s arrest could have skewed the whole investigation you can see what the PJ were up against with half the world’s media camped on their doorstep, looking for copy.

I found that particularly interesting given the demise of that Murdoch rag and some who worked at it. The Press have always had far too much power to influence events in this country with the current Brexit debacle being a current example.

The fact that the Met couldn't stop the News of the World from printing a story concerning a live murder enquiry is worrying.

A malicious prosecution for a crime which never existed. An exposé of egregious malfeasance by public officials.
Indeed, the truth never changes with the passage of time.
