Ask HN: How do the London Riots reflect on CCTV Camera culture?

One would think that with so many cameras in and around London, that many would not take to rioting for fear of being caught.

I am generally against the idea of a CCTV network, although do events like these make a case for CCTV?

Likewise, could it be said that Londoners have grown too accustom to CCTV life that they have simply ignored its existence?
