Alison Hawke at Quantum Tea Blog has a very nice post about routine camera surveillance in general and Britain in particular as it is the most watched nation. She points to a post by Future Pundit that points out that technology has it’s limits – in this case the failure of the British criminal justice system.
Alison rightly claims the law is the law whether anybody is watching or whether you get caught. My thought is that if because of such monitoring laws that weren’t previously enforced suddenly take on new life, we need to consider law by law whether or not to keep these laws and scrap the bad ones rather than block such monitoring.
