There's been a lot of criticism of CCTV in the US. Many consider it an
invasion of privacy. I am not among them. But the US press has
frequently published "exposes" about the threat to privacy these
systems present.

I noticed the mention of CCTV, which is more prevalent in
Europe than the US. I wonder how much of a role this played
in the speed of the
investigation? I mean this as a genuine question, as I
really have no
idea at the moment.
