British Drivers Destroying Surveillance Cameras

Posted by timothy on from the probably-not-with-guns dept.

miletus writes "A Wired article tells us that not everyone in Britain loves the surveillance state." The linked entry (part of Bruce Sterling's blog) quotes a story about British anti-camera groups, one of which claims its up-and-coming methods "will enable them to destroy a roadside camera in just a few seconds," and illustrates with a burned-out camera. I wonder how many Americans are similarly motivated.

    This story is nothing to do with surveillance (despite the misleading summary), and nothing to do with giving up necessary freedom for temporary security
    Oh really? what is the excuse for cameras and what the hell do cameras do? Think about it... you have enough braincells to figure this one out on your own I'm sure.
