The Technology Net Part 3
With this post I will close this series for a time, as there are some controverseries unfolding in the legal world that i want to devote time to, and we all know technology and its abuse wont be leaving us soon, so we shall revisit.
In the event you do not know, London specifically, and the UK generically, are absolutely surveiled by closed circuit cameras. There are over 500,000 in London alone, and one study has shown you can expect to be filmed 300 times a day. Londons main line of their railways boasts 500 cameras among 34 stations that films 166 million people annually.
New York City officials think thats a good idea for their city, 2 weeks ago they installed 505 television cameras. The name of the American “ring of steel ” is called Lower Manhattan Security Initiative. 505 security cameras in a 1.7 square mile area.
I think its safe to assume in time, all of NYC will be as saturated with cameras. And as we know most law enforcement is modeled after and trained by NYC.
Its disturbing, we in America used to fight for freedom, now we give it away.
