UK to lnstall Wireless Mics on London Streets

johnthorensen writes "Looks like parts of London may be seeing wireless microphones on the street sometime soon. At this point, they're looking to use them to monitor noise ordinance violations - if you call about a repeated disturbance, they'll mount one by your place to monitor noise levels for the next several days. The article also notes that they intend to locate them more permanently outside bars and nightclubs. The microphones apparently communicate via wireless Internet connection, although no real details are given as to the nature of said connection. Are London residents getting the boiled frog treatment?"

Boiled frog is an excellent analogy. The average Britain's freedom is being whittled away one small step at a time and nobody seems to care.

this may be true but it also true on the other side of the pond.

post 9-11 american's freedom's / rights are slowly being eroded and not many people seem to care much.

most americans today are more worried about their safety then there freedom's / rights then they where pre 9-11.

just my .02 worth
