UK Plans To Monitor 20,000 Families' Homes Via CCTV

Posted by timothy on from the words-fail-but-pictures-deliver dept.

metrix007 points out a story in the Sunday Express with more surveillance-camera madness from the UK, where the government now wants to place 20,000 CCTV cameras to monitor families ("the worst families in England") within their own homes, to make sure that "kids go to bed on time and eat healthy meals and the like. This is going too far, and hopefully will not pass. Where will it end?"

    And then it would be interesting to do an analysis about how much (not whether) violent crime would go down if we legalized and regulated soft drugs. Lead to the breakdown of the fabric of society?? Hah! It would damn well strengthen it! Drug legalization opponents are living in cloud-cuckoo land.
