Well they are there to keep an eye on the law abiding, not criminals, just to keep us in our place and remind us who's in charge.
ReplyDeleteApparently cctv is neither effective preventing or solving crime. If your government is like mine you just need to add more cameras and watchers. SNARK!
ReplyDeleteOr you could empower your citizens to defend themselves.
I was very curious those years back as you began the survellience experiment--if it was an experiment. Time shows it wasn't an experiment, but a capitulation.
ReplyDeleteWhen a society promotes isolation through enforced socialistic solidarity, the result may appear to have greater need of disarming and supervision. But the supervisors are the very ones who created what they are supervising. The mind that creates problems is not the mind to create its solution, anything but.
It is amazing how many things can not be accomplished in such a state.
A great deal of it was unawareness of the British public. First one appears, then another, then another, then the IRA threat, then 7/7 and so on.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in the cinema the other day. They announced they may be using infra red night vision to detect illegal videoing of the film. Although I wouldn't be doing anything wrong, the thought wasn't very appealing.
ReplyDeleteIt's so wrong of course.
