Britain has four million CCTV cameras

[threaded]

Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath?

What a line Katie Melua missed!

There are 4 million cameras watching us;
That's a fact - and it sucks.

4 million cameras... how many illegal immigrants do we have...?

Probably one camera for each.... so we know where to courier their dole money.

When they have the metrics of all our faces in a central DB, and imaging software that can recognize our physogs from any surveillance camera feed - that'll be the most perfect social surveillance and tracking system so far devised.

That means I now have to comb my hair and put on a clean top just to get some fags from the newsagent.
