Big Brother (U.K.)

[cracwhore]

So. About this.

Also, is there a reason that's not on the BBC front page?

I always knew Britain was a big fan of CCTV - but this seems like a bit much. For those of you that live in the U.K. - is this story being covered at all? What's the general opinion on these so-called 'prevention methods' over there?



You can only imagine what comes next...

The key words in that article are 'the plan is'. It definitely won't happen by next March, if at all.

I doubt they will stick cameras on every country backroad, so the interesting bike routes will still be good .

Big brother is one of the worst things to have come out of the netherlands.

Edit: Oh this is a different big brother.

I dont know if this is good or not.

U-S-A! U-S-A!

Some amazing suggestions, to say the least.

ugh, what's scary is that people may let it slide.

Hmmm... The article(U-S-A! U-S-A) said it was being tested in Oregon and Washington, I've never heard of it and I live in Oregon. Do they send a G-man wearing a ninja suit to houses in the middle of the night and install these devices? I can almost say with 100% certainty that this will never happen in Oregon and Washington. “Why,” you ask? We are the West coast and we don't play that sh1t.

We don’t let people steal our elections, like Ohioans and Floridians do. We don’t let local religious freaks dictate our local legislative body. Our Mayor, in Portland, gave a big “fuk you” to Ashcroft when he tried to solicit the help of our police force for bogus anti-terror busts.

One more time: We are the West coast and we don't play that sh1t.

LMFAO This is true!

 

[Harrm]

Whats wrong with grunge? I mean, besides the wonton abuse of drugs and people and degeneration of all standards of living?

This is terrible stuff. Maybe more people will start to walk or bike in this country if this takes effect. In which case maybe this wont be all that bad.

Who is supposed to pay to have these trackers installed?
