Another nail in the coffin? 

In Home Office plans to force CCTV on shops and pubs

In the village where I used to live there is one shop. Since I moved it has lost the Post Office contract. This could nudge it out of the Off-Licence business--it doesn't have much space devoted to that.

Though such a CCTV system would also watch the cash register--there might be one already.

This might not be a problem for the businesses, but will it mean the Police can get pictures of every supermarket customer?
