The Big Brother Society..Is It Really A "Concern"?

Britain, like some other countries, are "concerened and worried" about the government keeping tabs on them by having too many CCTV cameras.

I don't see why it's a problem..
It should, in theory, keep the streets safer and unless you're doing anything wrong or they put cameras in your houses I don't see what people could find to complain about!

Does anyone on here have a problem with the "Big Brother Society"

To some degree I have a problem because we should have freedom of speech etc etc, part of our rights.

But I totally agree with you about how it should keep the streets safer.

I think the British complain too much. If we didn't have CCTV and someone was attacked, they would complain there wasn't enough surveillance to identify the attackers, and say the government needs to do more to prevent crime.

It's not as if CCTV cameras are pointed directly into your homes, so they're not breaching privacy rights anyway! Anything that happens out on the street is public knowledge. People need to get over it.

I find it amusing when people complain about all the speed camera. . . .they could just try not speeding

Hmm..
There's just so many double standards!
We want freedom of speech, which we haven't got anyway, but when last week we had that group of people protesting against the soldiers people were saying it shouldn't of been allowed..

I don't agree with them upsetting the families and the soldiers themselves..but at the same time I think they should have their freedom of speech.

As long as they're not imposing on my right to privacy I don't care.

CCTV helps to keep us safe.

NYC tried cameras --just don't work to stop crime--sometimes perp caught from video--but doesn't deter crime. For the civil right issue--cameras can only be use as survilance in public areas---

Yeah, they're only in public areas here too, so I honestly don't see the big deal. Even if they don't prevent crime, the police can use them to identify criminals. So it's not exactly a bad thing to have
