Very interesting, and it was a history lesson as well to hear what people were saying about CCTV surveillance, which isn't very different from what is still said and debated in 2024. The audios were 1994, so 30 years! UK is still top in number of cameras per head of population, so I read. Nowadays we have also had a meteoric rise in dashcam footage.
