Even in an Orwellian nightmare of 1 spy camera on the streets of Britain per 25 Brits - not counting traffic cameras - and few Brit dissidents having guns for long-range attack, Brits are saying "Enough" to Big Brother.

Do you know what U.S. spy cameras and stoplight cameras look like? See photos!

I knew the Brit's had a dry sense of humour...

they must have caught the Freedom Bug from the USA!!!

Loss of freedom is no joke!!

The idea as I see it, is to shape Society to where nobody wants to shoot the President...

Not to make it a Society where no one can shoot the President!!

Besides, it ain't the Presidents fault, it's the DemonRats in the Senate!!!

P.S. I am not a threat!!

This is great! Pretty soon they'll have to install cameras to watch the cameras. Then cameras that are watching the cameras that watch cameras, etc...

Then they'll find out that it would have been cheaper to hire more police than to buy (and repair/replace) cameras.

Henry Bowman's right hand tightened around the walnut grip of the Solothurn S18-1000. The weapon had been a present from his Father, given to him on his fourteenth birthday in 1967. Cost $189.50 back in the sixties Henry thought irrelevantly. I thought that was a steal. Dad's friends thought it was astronomical. Wonder what they'd think now. --UC

But a Department of Transport spokesman said: 'Research has shown that the number of people killed or seriously injured on some dangerous stretches of road has fallen by 47 per cent after the installation of speed cameras.

That's because they all stopped or slowed down to disable the cameras.

Don't question authority EVER!

You must realize that public safety justifies it all.

It's for the children.

Well alright! Nice to see our Brit brothers standing up to 'the man'.

Too bad you guys can't shoot them from afar like we can. But hey, I guess you have to work with what you have.

Anti-tyranny bump.

Although thousands of cameras have been damaged, police have not received a single message from any passing driver reporting a vandalism. As a result, no one so far has been caught damaging a camera.

The sad part is that those with the power will never understand why. In their minds, the public has just sunk lower into deprevity, so they'll look for a way to tighten their control even more...

[Jimmy Valentine]

God Bless our good old cousins on this one. We need to do the same here.

If you go through Washington, D.C. and are looking, you will see more cameras than you could ever beleive.

Maybe there is hope for the BRITS afterall

Thanks for posting this!

You see, that's how socialism always tries to get you... One day they'll claim they can make us all 100% safe by keeping us locked in cages all day.

Brits do not like to be watched by a Big Brother?

[Cloud William]

I must say, I really like the part about dousing the cameras with gasoline and setting them ablaze. The companies that build the things are worried about making them bulletproof (to an extent), but the "flamethrower" attack works just fine.

I'm sure it must be something familiar expressed in the Queen's English, but what exactly is a "blow lamp"?

[putupon]

I say old chap, that will give the Yard a sticky wicket.

'There has been an alarming increase in the number of cameras being vandalised and this could lead to deaths on the road, through speeding.'

This is just another example of using hyperbole to justify intrusions into people's lives. The number of deaths due to speeding would not change regardless of the camera's working condition. The mere presence of the cameras (or of reasonable facsimilies, i.e. - fake cameras) will do the same to reduce speed.

If you want proof, just drive down any interstate and watch the traffic slow as soon as they see a police car parked on the side; drivers slow down even if they are doing the legal limit. I would assume that the same will then be true for camera enforcement - posting large signs that these spies are in use and making them very visible will slow drivers down; one cannot tell at a glance if the box is actually a camera or a fake.

I love it. They may not have their guns but the Brits have the gumption to trash the spycams.

[Richard Kimball]

Cool!!!

[Consort]

If the authorities made the live pictures available for public access at a Web Cam site, then the public would demand more and more cameras at more and more locations — and not just at traffic locations.
