Lib Dems: Gov't surveillance obsession risks creating 'Orwellian' society Public
Technology.net Commenting on Ian Readhead’s warning that the proliferation of CCTV cameras risks creating an ‘Orwellian’ society, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary, Nick Clegg MP said: “As John Reid pushes for the deployment of talking CCTV cameras barking instruction at passers-by, it is significant that senior police officers are starting to speak out.
“Something is wrong when police officers, rather than Government ministers, seem more concerned about the protection of our customary British liberties. “Deputy Chief Constable is also really onto something when he highlights his concern about the retention of DNA details on thousands of innocent British citizens. “This Government’s obsession with new intrusive surveillance technologies and apparent indifference about our individual rights has demolished the ancient distinction between guilt and innocence.” --------------------------------------------------- Prison Planet.tv: The Premier Multimedia Subscription Package: Download and Share the Truth!
