Well, even if it doesn't, it certainly provides video evidence of it. CCTV in public venues isn't an invasion of privacy. It's when it crosses in to private venues that you have a problem.
We've created a situation where the only place you now have a right to privacy is inside the walls of your own home. Why is that? Just because it's theoretically possible for an another person to see me as I walk along an empty beach, enjoying a moment of private contemplation, the Government are allowed to film me. Is it right and fair that in order to get privacy you mush rent or buy it?
A private residence is also any privately owned business. That said, they're liable to be filming you anyway.

At work, someone robbed us (Yeah, someone robbed a doctor's surgery) while whoever was at the desk went to the toilet. First and only time in the several decades they've been open. So we've now got a camera there.
"The fact is that far more crime and child abuse has been committed by zealots in the name of God, Jesus and Mohammed than has ever been committed in the name of Satan. Many people don't like that statement but few can argue with it."
