Has Big Brother come to Britain?

VIDEO: Shouting CCTV Cameras

Over 4 million cameras, being retro-fitted w/speaker systems. Yelling out orders to people like a concentration camp. Doesn't sound like V for Vendetta at all.

Now the cameras, and the men behind them, shout at you. Tell you what to do. Shame you into the 'proper behavior.'

Four million cameras and growing loudspeakers?

Surely, if this doesn't show you that we have entered 1984, nothing will.

What's with you Brits, letting this happen?

Worse yet, now that it has happened, doing nothing about it.

Confirms my suspicions that Brits are control freaks.

The cctvs catch the average Brit on camera up to 300 times a day.

Notice the ratchet affect: Start with a few cameras barking orders, and when no one complains, expand the number.

Now is the time to complain Brits.

"The limits of CCTV are constantly extended. Originally installed to deter burglary, assault and car theft, in practice most camera systems have been used to combat 'anti-social behavior', including many such minor offenses as littering, urinating in public, traffic violations, obstruction, drunkenness, and evading meters in town parking lots. They have also been widely used to intervene in other 'undesirable' behavior such as underage smoking and a variety of public order transgressions. Other innovative uses are constantly being discovered. 2 When combined with observation of body language, the cameras are particularly effective in detecting people using marijuana and other substances. These systems are used increasingly to police public morals and public order. According to a glossy UK Home Office promotional booklet, "CCTV : Looking out for you", the technology can be a solution for such problems as vandalism, drug use, drunkenness, racial harassment, sexual harassment, loitering and disorderly behavior. 3"
