Camera-shy America weighs merits of video surveillance
Camera-shy America weighs merits of video surveillance Sun Jul 24, 5:41 PM ET

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Americans are weighing the merits of an all-seeing network of 24-hour-a-day security cameras similar to the system which has aided Britain's recent terror investigations.

Britain's extensive network of video cameras allowed police to quickly beam pictures of the suspects in the recent London terror attacks across the globe.

But any bid to expand the fledgling US network of surveillance cameras could fall afoul of freedom and privacy guarantees in the US Constitution.
