I don't have any problem with CCTV in public places. Ultimately they are for the safety of the public. Sure, they can be used for illicit purposes but that's what oversight committees are for. But in general, if you aren't committing a crime you have nothing to fear. If you are committing a crime you're more likely to get caught. The real problem is, What does the government consider a crime?

Dr Who's primary purpose is not sexual gratification (although I bet Georgia Moffett has caused a surge in the sales of Kleenex!) Nor are crucifixes worn for sexual gratification.
For most people this is probably true. But what about those fringe elements who are watching Dr. Who for sexual gratification? Or someone who uses a crucifix to stimulate themselves sexually? Should these items be banned because they can be used to stimulate? And what if the judge should find something sexually stimulating that you do not? There are many different fetishes out there. Not everyone is stimulated by them all. Which ones should be banned?

No, it's a crapshoot when you let the government run the bedroom. Especially since a seemingly large percentage of government officials are among the worst offenders.
