Most surveilled nation on Earth to get more spy cams

England is the most surveilled nation on Earth. Now the UK wants to install another series of spy cameras.

This time the cameras will be attached to the lollipop shaped signs of the school crossing guards in Britain.

Lollipop ladies, like the one pictured, face abuse and aggression from drivers every day.

But now lollipop Ladies have been given a new weapon against reckless or angry motorists. Video cameras are being built into their lollipop poles.

Lollipop ladies, along with the children they are helping across roads, are often abused and sworn at.

Drivers also hoot, rev their car engines, drive too close and too fast, or ignore a request to stop altogether.

As with almost everything else in Britain that doesn’t work, they tend to throw a few hundred cameras at the problem.

Are the thousands of spy cameras in the UK actually helping to reduce crime?
