London is the most heavily surveyed city on the world. 4.2 million security cameras (that’s one camera for every 14 people). Yet, the police arrest a photographer taking Christmas photos because they think he’s just a bit “suspicious” and “anti-social”. WTF? As if millions of security cameras zooming in to document everyone’s activities is a “friendly” and “heart warming” thing to do. Here’s his video of the arrest and a full write-up.
Oh, and London also uses blimps and unmanned aerial drones to keep an eye on their subjects.
Cheerio!
