I think its more like the authorities won't allow them, something about the data protection act.
Maybe if these companies we able to offer some assurances that peoples privacy would not be infringed some councils would adopt a different attitude.

With due respect Mick, this time its coming out the top of your head.
A major municipal borough near us was fed up with constant complaints from licensed drivers about harrassment (physical and racial) that they staged a roadshow for their drivers inviting 4 different suppliers to demonstrate there wares. All were approved by the council.
During the day they had twice as many drivers from neighbouring districts to their roadshow (there was 6 of us). A guy who had complained about harrassment so many times the council had lost count, said the council should pay the £500 for a camera not him.
All the system I have seen have systems in place to protect the public. For example, with Verifeye (I believe) you cannot gets access to the pictures without a Police request for it.
