Does anyone else dislike CCTV everywhere?

Yes. I think we are all acting like a bunch of sheep with blinkers on (we don't want the trauma of seeing the wolves herding us).\n\nWe forget that the police are there to enforce the law and not to "protect" us. If it comes to martial law (I'm not talking about the fat TV detective), then whoever is in charge will be the law. Of course he may not be called Adolf, but we could get a modern form of national socialism.

Hmm, I live in Ireland so I've spent a lot of time in England. It will of course depend on what part of England you're living in, London is like New York, except normally wetter and Cornwall is like well I suppose it's as close as you can get to the Californian coastlines as people go surfing there, except of course it's usually colder.  But as for England overall, well a few givens. It's a great place, food is different, weather is different, TV has less commercials (and none at all on the BBC), they drive on the other side of the road to you guys, and you'll find pretty much everything is more expensive. On the positive side, nobody has guns (well excepet illegal ones held by hardened criminals and legal ones held by farmers) so it leads to a somewhat more relaxed attitude. Totally different from my brief Californian experience (I've been 5 times) but none the less enjoyable.

It depends on their Webcam settings. Some people might have "Allow Everyone to Always View my Webcam", but I think they are a small minority of users.

Well...it is definately one of the most intrusive states in the world, without a doubt.\n\nI read recently that in the district of Hammersmith there we over 14 different cameras directed at a single roundabout, from police cameras to council fine cameras to business protection cameras.\n\nI would say, that the country is definately more big brother than it ever has been before..especially since the arrival of that paranoid egotistical PM Blair..maybe he is the CEO of endemol!! who knows!!!\n\nSo YES it is becoming a surveillance state, where as before hand there was just the usual security etc that any western state has.\n\nIt makes you wonder and begin to question whether or not it really is a liberal democratic state..or a silent dictatorship...

you shouldn't also you might have somone in your apprement building that did not lock there wireless down so you can piggie back off of them.  Its not ethical or really leagel but its hard to chatch someone doing it.  And most of the time people don't care.

I hate to admit it but I love watching that crap.\nI'm adicted to World's Creepiest Destinations and it's hard to drag me away from just about anything on HGTV and OLN or The Outdoor Channel.

In urban areas it's more than 300 times; maybe not 300 cameras. I cannot leave my house without passing under one that I know is a dummy; but there are real ones a few steps further on. I can't walk into a shop or a bank or a post office without being recorded.\n\nAnd there are special cameras to record license plates for congestion charging, for speed enforcement, for bus lane enforcement. There are cameras in the buses to record yob behavior and at intersections to check for traffic problems.\n\nMandatory ID cards are next.

It's funny because I've been there before at night and found it to be perfectly safe, but who knows? There are obviously people who disagree with me, so just be smart and safe. If something looks sketchy, get out of the area. It just takes some common sense and you should be fine.

Yes. I don't care if they keep it behind closed doors...but the continual public displays are tiresome.

The cameras around my city are at intersections that are well known for accidents, red light runners & speeding.  I don't care if the cameras are there.  I'm smart enough to read the Photo Enforced signs posted & I also obey all traffic laws.  I've been driving for 17 years, NO tickets for anything.  Sure, several accidents, NO points on my license as well.  My insurance company gives me a discount for this too & it's well worth it.  Anyways, I think the cameras are a great idea & very helpful.

Funny you mention that. The police chief of Chiago already wants cameras in the homes of felons. Yes we are entering a total police state here in the USA. There are also directional mics in the public areas with those cameras to listen in on your conversations. The justification for these mics is classic disinfo. I have heard that the mics are to triangulate gun shots, yeah they can do that, but mostly they are here to spy on us. But don't just worry about the cameras. State governments are implementing RFID technology into your cars registration stickers. And there are even plans on making a system like Onstar mandatory so basically you will have to "check in" with your state government in some way before you can even drive your car! It is really beyond 1984 what is being set up here in the US, and the national news will NOT tell you its happening.

Yes you do.  I have a feeling you don't want to pay for it so try zone alarm - it is free to non-business users and it does do a good job.
