Surveillance Equipment

Is the World, as we know it, a safer place with all these CCTV, Night Vision and IR and recording pieces of Equipmnet in Public and Private places ?

They are measures of Deterrance and Detection. As for detection, we know they work as long as its all on tape but what about deterrance ?

big brother is watching you!

can you say prison planet?

Why prison ? If you have nothing to fear, then there is no fuss. If Criminals cannot get around the Surveillance, they will go for softer target. So it does work to deter up to a certain extent.

A clever criminal know a way around cameras. All it will really do in the long run, is violate your privacy. And I will confess, I am a bit camera shy.
What if I were to say
Every breath you take, every move you make, I'll be watching you.

How would you feel about that?

If you want to know what life will be like unless we wake up fast, take a look at NaziGermany.People have no idea of the abyss we are staring into or the nature of the world we are leaving for our children to endure and most people don’t seem to care.

When there is a problem in the world, we say “What are they going to do about it”. At which point they, who have secretly created the problem in the first place, respond to this demand by introducing a ‘solution’ - more centralisation of power and erosion of freedom. If you want to give more powers to the police, security agencies and military, and you want the public to demand you do it,then ensure there is more crime, violence and terrorism, and then it’s a cinch to achieve your aims. Once the people are in fear of being burgled, mugged or bombed, they will demand that you take their freedom away to protect them from what they have been manipulated to fear. The Oklahoma bombing and 9/11 is a classic of this kind.

ha, how about the put in some CCTV cameras that dont make everyone look like a pixel and recognisable, then i'll have faith in them

'Freedom within a cage' is not freedom. Absolute observation is seperated from absolute control by the minutest of degrees. The more cameras, the greater the observation; ergo the greater the erosion of civil liberties, so go figure...

Deano your conspiracy theorys are realy anooying me. We do not live in a police state. Your just stirring trouble. People like you are what help terrorists. If we were a police state then perhaps July 7th wouldnt have happened you thick un patriotic tratior.

why do i have to be patriotic? why do i have to have the belief that my country is superior to all others? why cant we all live in peace and stop giving our minds away. when will you stop being an ignorant moron with little or no intelligence of what is really going on. you are just liek everyone else and you follow the herd. you dont research any information at all. you are a waste of space.
im a traitior am i? what a pathetic comment
why dont you let me say and post what i want, free from ridicule or condemnation.Let us respect our own right to be unique and to express that uniqueness; let us respect the right of others to express their
uniqueness. if people were more like this then it would transform your life and life on this planet for the better. its people like you who bully people who dont follow societys norms.
those wankers set the religious, political, medical and scientific ‘norms’ by controlling those professions and, therefore, the norms promoted by the mesmerised media. Most people then live their lives within these norms and allow them to programme their sense of possibility, potential and who or what they are. This is the eggshell and if people want to concede their uniqueness and infinite power in this way, fine, go ahead. Couldn’t care less. But what happens is that those who live in these prisons are not satisfied with that. They insist that everyone else does the same.

The power of belief to entrap a mind is incredible. The Brotherhood do not care what you believe as long as you believe something to the exclusion of other possibilities. I am quite happy to change my views on any or all the information ive come across if that is where new information leads me. I am not attached to it because I am only seeking the truth, whatever it is. If it is something different to what I think now, fine. So be it. Rigid beliefs defend themselves from all comers because the belief becomes the person’s sense of self, their sense of security, and so they would rather cling on to the belief than face the mental and emotional challenge of letting it go. But we are now facing a time of the most phenomenal change in which all beliefs are going to crumble. You can write the future on a blank piece of paper far easier than one that is full of old data. You can plant new flowers on an empty piece of garden far easier than one still consumed by weeds. It is time to clear our minds of belief and be open to all possibility. Only then can we be free to tap into infinity.

I cannot understand the logic that says cameras are a threat to civil liberties. They are indeed useful in dealing with crime- and less than 1% of criminals are 'clever'.

umm..privacy?

Personally, I'd rather be shot in the dark then have every action I make in the light. It would drive me crazy.

cctv...makes very amusing viewing when made into tv shows

wouldn't have identified and caught the people responsible for the second july bombings without it
