Rights group criticises 'Asbo TV'
Viewers will have access to footage from 400 CCTV cameras
Civil rights campaigners have voiced concern about a new channel allowing households in east London to monitor local CCTV cameras, dubbed "Asbo TV".
The project will enable Shoreditch residents to compare suspicious characters with an on-screen "rogue's gallery" from their living-room.
Asbo Concern said the scheme was a "gimmick" and would be open to abuse.
