Britain is the World's Surveillance Leader

hax0r_par writes "It seems that in Britain, surveillance on the general public is happening and being recorded 24/7. They are playing the angle that this is allowing for criminal surveillance, which seems justified by the article. But it really is something to take into paranoid consideration now that we've got the technology to make this possible."

  1. Privacy not an issue for most by otisg · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Just a week ago I spoke to a friend of mine about this. He lives in Kent, UK. He explained that cameras are there because of IRA (at least that is the explanation). I asked about whether people have privacy issues with cameras, and apparently most people do not. I guess if you are not misbehaving, there is nothing to hide, nothing to fear.
