My wife and I were in London in Jan 2000, and it is truly spooky to see the extent that public spaces in the UK are wired for video. No surprise that 1984's Winston Smith lived in England.

Police do not prevent crime -- they are there to pick up the pieces and take notes. They are historians. Any system that will help them in their note taking and crime solution is welcomed by them. You'll still get mugged, but now they have it on tape.

"There were about 100 police cameras in England in 1990, according to NARCO figures, but that number has steadily risen and will be at about 40,000 by the end of 2002. "

By 2010, you will be required to show 'full face' as you step out the door of your home so they can track all of your movements.By 2020, no problems , with your in cameras and your skin embedded chip transmitters England will be the worlds safest country on earth.

""The general populace is largely in favor of the cameras, because they make them feel safer," he said. "They've reduced drunken, disorderly behaviour because people know they are being watched, or that they can be caught later."" (CNS)

Really? Crime rates in the UK have soared since the place first became infested with spy cams!

I hope every gay Member Of Parliament going to a gay bar is recorded for prurient laughs by those watching the spycams.

I've seen too many videos of convenience store shootings to believe the camera has any deterent effect on the thugs.
