In reality you've got to create a balance between respecting civil liberties, and the need for secure law and order.

I've no problem with the amount of CCTV we currently have, or the much anticipated i-d cards, if they ever materialise.

I'm always amazed when there's talk of Big Brother. If we were all to have our every move monitored, and phone calls recorded etc, who on earth is going to listen and watch it all, and who will be watching and listening to them?
