  1. Johno says "If the parents are not willing or able to police the anti-social actions of their own children, then the Police need all the help they can get. If you are not breaking the law then you have nothing to fear from being seen on camera. "

  2. Barry Jenkins says "On the assumption that this is a youth related 'problem' If there were events on that 15-22 year olds were interested in, maybe they (co-)organised, then they could use their energies in at least enjoyable, if not productive ways. they WILL express themselves one way or another and push the 'status quo' / boundaries lets acknowledge this energy and aim to channel it in ways that benefit all they are our future let us listen to and embrace their positive rather than fear and try to punish their negative expression "

  3. property owner in CBD says "Yep! I'm all for getting cameras on the street. It's a shame it has to come to this but let's catch the little toe-rags who persist on wrecking havoc on our otherwise lovely little town."

  4. marty says "If the camera recorded for 24 hours on a loop. It could be referenced if a crime occurred that needed sorting out. Perhaps it could have deterred the Library arson? "

  5. helen says "I can't imagine anything more boring than trawling through hours of videotape. If the police think that it could provide helpful info, then I support them in their most difficult job."

  6. helen says "I support the police in their difficult job. If they need to watch hours of boring video tape, they'd only do it if they thought it was necessary."

  7. sign of the times says "I think the people complaining about big brother and the invasion of their privacy have got it wrong. The loss of privacy is a small price to pay for the deterrent and even crime-solving capability of surveillance cameras."

  8. Charlotte says "Didnt there used to be cameras in the village green? i think around 10-11years ago there was problems with vandalism and some shops took it into there own hands to put them up to help catch/stop the people who where doing it. Or was i just told this to scare us as teenagers?"

  9. former golden bayer says "i think it is a good idea,,if you have nothing to hide then why would you have to worry,,the police keep the general public safe and the more reason to keep it that way. you do the crime you do the time"

  10. Anom says "Does Takaka have a CBD?"
