Suppose you have to have sympathy for anyone who thinks like this, but i'm afraid the old saing "once a copper always a copper" comes to mind. Lets hope the idea is treaed with the contempt it deserves and is binned. I for one would'nt like to see any form of spying equipment on the sreets of the village. My advice to this person would be, if you feel unsafe in the villge , then move, do not spoil it for the rest of us.
It would be nice if this person lived up to his convictions and came on here with his reasons for such a ludicrous idea.
I look forward to hearing from him.
