The movie "Enemy of the State" had me really thinking about the government survelliance system. Especially since I was at the time working for space systems.

Then of course there are the sickos that plant survelliance cameras in everything including public toilets. Saw an episode on Law & Order that had me hesitant about even going into a public restroom.

The way i look at it is this. There is really no difference in a camera to, say, a copper on a street corner watching people pass by. There are thousands of people going past the cameras. If people are interested in me, for whatever reason, then they will be interested in me, the cameras mean they can do it in the warm perhaps, but it doesn't change the fact that they have to pick me out from a crowd, which they can do by standing in the street. If i don't want to be seen by a camera then i don't want to be seen by people in general so i shouldn't leave my house.

Of course the cameras are used for other purposes, i suspect that the zoom functions are tested to the limit to get a sharp view of teenagers giving each other a quick knee trembler in a bush shelter .....

how on earth is "n o o k y" a censored word? It's a childish euphamism.

Right from now on i shall be using the words "penis", "vagina" and " vigorous thrusting" until "*****" is uncensored.

Im happy to see this sort of thing. Hopefully it will help get the fair-use internet bill passed (if they ever try to pass it again). Cant remember the actual name of the act...

***** n o o k y, hmmm is it some sort of racist insult or something?

I actually liked the camers in the UK as stated before. I also love how those wonderful things capture faces of ******* crooks and next thing you know the entire UK is on lockdown mode manhunt. Like that old man who found that killer in the bushes and called the cops.

It has nothing to do with what you fought.....thats is your job, thats what you signed up for on the dotted line, and pledged alligence to that very same government, that spies on it own people, being wire taps, internet tracking, mobile phone taps, shodowing, and so forth.

I have no quarms in cctv cammeras being used in major cities, there laready plastered in every shop, so what difference does it make if there in a street monitoring..??? you can easily be traced with or without cameras.

Im not planning to rob, or do a terorist act, so have nothing to hide....when I do mind is when they are invading my privacy in my own home..!!

In london it has helped to trace back footsteps of certain activities, The roll out for cctv is being done all over the world.

Anyhow your a military man..... there always ways around these things
