G20 demonstrations

I think it's important that there were so many independent photographers--and the Guardian footage was shot by a bloke with a cameraphone. The mainstream media would never have achieved this level of coverage.

I wonder what CCTV from the area shows? The whole area must be completely covered by it. Was it switched on that day, and was the footage kept?

The CCTV in that area should be switched on, however it cant be that good as I have personally climbed in and out of manhole covers in the middle of the banking district without any police presence being there when I return to my car.

However on a day when there is a protest then it will have been on and recording.
