De boom van kabeltelevisie is er niet in geslaagd om misdaad te snijden, politie zeggen

Dinsdag, 6 Mei, 2008

bb.jpgDoor Owen Bowcott | De massieve investering in de camera's van kabeltelevisie is om misdaad in het UK te verhinderen er niet in geslaagd om een significante invloed, ondanks miljarden ponden te hebben besteed aan de nieuwe technologie, heeft een hogere politieambtenaar die een nieuw gegevensbestand loodst gewaarschuwd. Slechts 3% van straatdiefstallen in werden Londen opgelost gebruikend de beelden van kabeltelevisie, ondanks het feit dat Groot-Brittannië meer veiligheidscamera's dan een ander land in Europa heeft.

De waarschuwing komt uit het hoofd van het Visuele Bureau van Beelden, van de Identificatie en van Opsporingen (Viido) bij de Nieuwe Werf van Schotland aangezien de kracht een reeks initiatieven lanceert proberen om overtuigingstarieven op te voeren gebruikend kabeltelevisie- bewijsmateriaal. Zij omvatten:

· Een nieuw gegevensbestand van beelden dat wordt verondersteld om technologie te gebruiken die door de sporten wordt ontwikkeld adverterend de industrie aan spoor en overtreders te identificeren.

· Zettend beelden van verdachten in het overvallen, verkrachting en diefstalgevallen uit op Internet van volgende maand.

· Bouwend een nationaal kabeltelevisie- gegevensbestand, opnemend beelden van veroordeelde overtreders evenals niet geďdentificeerde verdachten. De plannen voor dit zijn opgesteld, maar geweest op greep terwijl de technologie die wordt vereist om geautomatiseerde onderzoeken uit te voeren wordt geraffineerd.

Het gebruik van de beelden van kabeltelevisie voor hofbewijsmateriaal is tot dusver zeer slecht, volgens de Belangrijkste Inspecteur Mick Neville van de Detective, de ambtenaar verantwoordelijk voor de Metropolitaanse politieeenheid geweest. „Kabeltelevisie werd oorspronkelijk gezien aangezien een preventative maatregel,“ Neville de Conferentie van de Wereld van het Document van de Veiligheid in Londen vertelde. „Miljarden ponden is besteed aan uitrusting, maar geen gedachte is gegaan in hoe de politie de beelden gaat gebruiken en hoe zij voor het gerecht zullen worden gebruikt. Het is uiterste fiasco geweest: slechts 3% van misdaden werden opgelost door kabeltelevisie. Er is geen vrees voor kabeltelevisie. Waarom vrezen de mensen het niet? [Zij denken] de camera's werken niet.“

Meer opleiding werd vereist voor ambtenaren, zei hij. Vaak willen zij de geen beelden van kabeltelevisie vinden „omdat het het harde werk“ is. Soms hinderde de politie het onderzoeken voorbij lokale raden niet om te weten te komen of de camera's van kabeltelevisie een bepaald straatincident controleerden.

„De de exploitantenbehoefte van kabeltelevisie koppelt terug. Als u hen achter roept, voelen zij getaxeerd en zijn nuttiger. Wij willen een carričreweg voor de onderzoekers van kabeltelevisie [politie] ontwikkelen.“

The Viido unit is beginning to establish a London-wide database of images of suspects that are cross-referenced by written descriptions. Interest in the technology has been enhanced by recent police work, in which officers back-tracked through video tapes to pick out terrorist suspects. In districts where the Viido scheme is working, CCTV is now helping police in 15-20% of street robberies.

“We are [beginning] to collate images from across London,” Neville said. “This has got to be balanced against any Big Brother concerns, with safeguards. The images are from thefts, robberies and more serious crimes. Possibly the [database] could be national in future.”

The unit is now investigating whether it can use software - developed to track advertising during televised football games - to follow distinctive brand logos on the clothing of unidentified suspects. “Sometimes you are looking for a picture, for example, of someone with a red top and a green dragon on it,” he explained. “That technology could be used to track logos.” By back-tracking, officers have often found earlier pictures, for example, of suspects with their hoods down, in which they can be identified.

“We are also going to start putting out [pictures] on the internet, on the Met police website, asking ‘who is this guy?’. If criminals see that CCTV works they are less likely to commit crimes.”

Cheshire deputy chief constable Graham Gerrard, who chairs the CCTV working group of the Association of Chief Police Officers, told the Guardian, that it made no sense to have a national DNA and fingerprint database, but to have to approach 43 separate forces for images of suspects and offenders. A scheme called the Facial Identification National Database (Find), which began collecting offenders’ images from their prison pictures and elsewhere, has been put on hold.

He said that there were discussions with biometric companies “on a regular basis” about developing the technology to search digitised databases and match suspects’ images with known offenders. “Sometimes when they put their [equipment] in operational practice, it’s not as wonderful as they said it would be, ” he said. “I suspect [Find] has been put on hold until the technology matures. Before you can digitise every offender’s image you have to make sure the lighting is right and it’s a good picture. It’s a major project. We are still some way from a national database. There are still ethical and technical issues to consider.”

Asked about the development of a CCTV database, the office of the UK’s information commissioner, Richard Thomas, said: “CCTV can play an important role in helping to prevent and detect crime. However we would expect adequate safeguards to be put in place to ensure the images are only used for crime detection purposes, stored securely and that access to images is restricted to authorised individuals. We would have concerns if CCTV images of individuals going about their daily lives were retained as part of the initiative.”

The charity Victim’s Voice, which supports relatives of those who have been murdered, said it supported more effective use of CCTV systems. “Our view is that anything that helps get criminals off the street and prevents crime is good,” said Ed Usher, one of the organisation’s trustees. “If handled properly it can be a superb preventative tool.”
