Of course as with all these Big Brother surveillance moves
it cannot be selectively applied and everyone will be subjected
to it.
The automatic devices bring to mind the heart-chilling scene
in "2001: A Space Odyssey" when HAL (the intelligent
computer) tells Dave that, despite all the precautions taken,
he knows Dave was planning to disconnect him because he can
read lips.
Imagine a place where you cannot step out of your front door
and have a conversation with someone without it being monitored.
Imagine a place where if you say something considered by the
authorities to be suspicious a team of agents is dispatched
to your location to detain and question you. Does that sound
like a free country?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have previously reported on the various Big Brother gadgets
that the government wants to or already has added to surveillance
cameras in the UK. Here is a brief re-cap:
Talking
/ Shouting cameras - In an incredibly Orwellian
move, loudspeakers are being fitted to surveillance cameras
throughout major cities, allowing CCTV operators to bark commands
at people who drop litter, act in an aggressive manner or
loiter. Some of these cameras will even use the voices of
children who will be recruited from schools to take part in
the scheme and will be shown round CCTV operating rooms on
school trips, learning how wonderful the big brother state
is and how forcing people to behave in a certain way in public
is the essence of a free society.
X-Ray
firing cameras - Documents leaked from the Home
Office have revealed that the government is looking into using
X-ray technology cameras by concealing them in lamp posts
to "trap terror suspects". The cameras allow operators
to see through people's clothes and look for suspicious items.
Eavesdropping
cameras - London police and councils are considering
monitoring our conversations in the street using high-powered
microphones attached to CCTV cameras that can pick up "aggressive
tones" on the basis of 12 factors, including decibel
level, pitch and the speed at which words are spoken.
Face
scanning cameras - linked into a national database
software will allow cameras to scan hundreds of faces a second
in crowds of people.
Behaviour
monitoring cameras - These devices are programmed
to sound an alarm when they spot suspicious behaviour, such
as waiting somewhere for a prolonged period of time or just
walking in a suspicious way. These have already been deployed
in airports and train stations.
Are we seriously supposed to believe that these devices are
going to stop terrorism?
Watching everyone all of the time and treating the entire
population as suspects is not going to weed out terrorists
and criminals. Nor is it an effective way of defending our
freedoms against those who we are told wish to attack us because
we are free.
If the government were to implement every piece of technology
they are seriously considering to add to existing surveillance
cameras, we would literally be living in a society ten times
worse than that of Orwell's Airstrip One.
We continually have to make sure that does not happen by
exposing these things.
