Drawing on a recent study of the impact of closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras on policing practices in a large English police force, this paper considers whether the presence of surveillance cameras affects the working attitudes and behaviour of individual police officers. In particular, this paper asks whether CCTV makes the police more accountable or more cautious in the exercise of their discretion in public spaces. Although noting that in certain circumstances CCTV may inadvertently help to reduce incidences of police misconduct, this paper concludes by arguing that more needs to be done to prevent the police from interfering with the operation of CCTV and gaining unauthorised access to potentially incriminating video evidence.

“…The legitimacy of policing actions is not solely rooted in reality, rather perceptions and the presence of normative safeguards which foster integrity are important too. Accountability is closely tied to concepts of “policing by consent.” Accountability takes a range of forms; it may be manifest in moral decision-making, embedded in codes of professional conduct and formalized in legal regulation (see Dixon, Coleman, & Bottomley, 1990). Frameworks of police accountability in the United Kingdom are tripartite in nature between the Home Office, Police Crime Commissioners, and Chief Constables.…”

Growth in the Armed Forces undertaking public policing is occurring in the United Kingdom and elsewhere and as such a complex security landscape emerges, both practically and conceptually. The aim here is to pose questions of the manifest and latent issues in the assemblage of multiple actors in public policing. It aks to reader to consider the implications of military actors transitioning from defence duties ordinarily associated with military work, to policing activities in public spaces. Taking the London 2012 Olympic Games as our point of reference, this article argues that to understand military presence, their role must be considered in the broader context of military and policing functions, the 'war on terror', accountability, and future priorities for public policing. We must be careful not to assign the presence of the military into pre-existing understandings of how mega-events should be securedthe military patrolling the streets of London represents more. Instead, as their presence comes to be legitimate in certain geopolitical contexts, critical questions must be asked especially as public and private arrangements are continually reworked in the domestic fight against terrorism.

“…Those who are easier to detect, usually because they have a visible street presence, are the main subjects of police attention. 47 Once a person is processed through the criminal courts, the state is entitled to impose a penalty if guilt is established. Criminal punishments are commonly justified as society's 'retribution' for the harms caused by the offence.…”
