I found it frightening when I was there that the government watches people so much. In the wake of the riots, will there be more CCTV? It obviously is not a a deterrant. Here are a couple of articles that I found. BTW, I did not find anyhwere NEAR as much CCTV in the rest of Europe: It’s well documented that England is one of the most surveilled countries in the modern world, with 1 cctv for every 14 people, and added to this fairly freaky statistic is the government’s various moves to try and oversee more and more of people’s daily lives as well as control what is consumed, viewed and watched, from the current debate on monitoring illegal music downloads to throttling torrent users, introducing National IDs, the oyster card, forbidding people to photograph police officers and a strange move to allow the government to supply ISPs with a list of banned sites related to child pornography without any overseeing (can’t find a link to this one at the moment, but the jist was that if they can supply said list without any overseeing, than who’s to say what they are banning). ***********800080]http://www.lo-la.co.uk/2009/02/03/al...ord-to-banksy[/COLOR] Talking" CCTV cameras that tell off people dropping litter or committing anti-social behaviour are to be extended to 20 areas across England. They are already used in Middlesbrough where people seen misbehaving can be told to stop via a loudspeaker, controlled by control centre staff. About £500,000 will be spent adding speaker facilities to existing cameras. Shadow home affairs minister James Brokenshire said the government should be "very careful" over the cameras. ***********800080]http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/6524495.stm[/COLOR] An example of how talking cameras work Home Secretary John Reid told BBC News there would be some people, "in the minority who will be more concerned about what they claim are civil liberties intrusions". "But the vast majority of people find that their life is more upset by people who make their life a misery in the inner cities because they can't go out and feel safe and secure in a healthy, clean environment because of a minority of people," he added. What really upsets people is their night out being destroyed or their environment being destroyed by a fairly small minority of people John Reid The talking cameras did not constitute "secret surveillance", he said. "It's very public, it's interactive."
i know in my old area it was rife with cctv thanks to so much anti social behavior around there, they were gonna try and monitor everyones internet behavior at one point, was a big uproar about it i remember
Agreed. Hell, I'll even shag where the cameras are and then the sexual content can be property of the BBC TV (Big Black Cock Television).
They only solve 3% of crimes. They are invasive. I hope America doesn't decided to go that way This is one man's view of how effective CCTV has been so far: "It's been an utter fiasco: only 3 per cent of crimes were solved by CCTV. There's no fear of CCTV. Why don't people fear it? (They think) the cameras are not working." This is not some disgruntled or ill-informed citizen talking. The speaker is Detective Chief Inspector Mick Neville, head of the Visual Images, Identifications and Detections Office (Viido) at New Scotland Yard, speaking this week at a security World Conference. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-money-in-the-fight-against-crime-822079.html Thay also want national ID, sounds like Nazi Germany to me. How much control does the governement want over citizens? How much of your freedom are you willing to give up for safety? Not me.
Lmao....that's so true on the other hand, i don't need some douche looking at me when I readjust my balls in an alley:smt108 the silver lining of this story tho, is the expansion of the department overseeing the CCTV, which will lead to the gov't taking responsibility for creating more jobs 8)
that mothafucka is still going porn? i remember him from back in the mid-90s and that palin knockoff is
Tell me that's a light skinned brotha... And don't be knocking on Lisa Ann! Sure, her breasts are weird looking from all those implants, but she's still a treat!
i used to think he was hispanic actually some of the older porn i seen (own on vhs:rock has him in it with hair, which is a giveaway to his ethnicity
So? 3% may not sound like much, but I bet the people who the cctv helped were glad to have it. I don't agree with the national ID, but then again, we all have a national ID anyway with drivers licenses and passports. My man has an actual national ID card and it's no big deal. I think people get too hyped up over this shit.
you need to be asking him why he's worried about it...not like they're working with some super duper camera that can zoom in on things that small
This. Not to mention that Police know how to act accordingly when they are aware that the acts they commit are being recorded.
I actually had the pleasure of meeting her in 2009 at a video shoot. She was even nicer in person. A truly kind individual all around!
You need to take pictures next time! I'd personally would like to hang out with her. She's the easy going type that would enjoy some fun.
Try getting those films of the police acting accordingly..... http://www.myfoxboston.com/dpp/news...s-secret-in-dj-henry-shooting-25-apx-20101112 If you want to give up your rights fine..but don't speak for the rest of us
