The everyone show

sobriqueSo, here in the UK we have an insanely large proportion of the world's CCTV cameras. Something like 25% if my source is correct.
And we also have such TV gems as Big Brother, You've been Framed, and assorted 'fly on the wall' documentaries.
Surely that's just plain inefficient? I propose we create a new form of viewing, called 'the everyone show'.
What we do, is hook up our CCTV grid to the net, and make it public access. And allow people to tag and rate clips, on a 'you tube' style portal. A collection of the weeks finest moments is then formatted into a round up show, and presented on national TV. Maybe there's even enough for multiple?
I mean, we're already paying for those cameras anyway, we may as well use them. And it's not like it's invasion of privacy, because that privacy was already gone anyway.
