i would be interested to hear those stories.

Do you think in many circumstances the cameras actually do make people safer? or do you really believe they are just evil tools used by the government not to help people, but just to oppress people?

I’m not saying don’t have surveillance cameras but why has Britain go more cameras than any other country in the world?

I don’t think people realize just how little freedom they have. Layer upon layer of legislation has been put in place to manipulate the way people behave. I mentioned in another thread about never seeing kids chalking a hopscotch on a pavement anymore and that’s because those children would be pounced on for vandalism. There are laws about how many people are allowed to gather in a public space; Its a very small number before the police can step in and disperse them. Our daughter can’t go with her mates to the local park because groups of teenagers are seen as suspicious.

What I resent is this extensive surveillance to ensure we all tow the line whilst believing we need their protection.
