So we are all film stars now yeeeee haaaaa. Seriously though if they work and act as a deterent or can help convict a criminal then I am ok with them.

I am to a point. It's what happend to the recordings that bothers me. I don't expect to walk down town and have a load of people on the internet watching me via a web cam in the town centre.

but isnt it a shame now to say the state of the community is such that we all feel as if we req our own private cctv systems?

ps nice one jimmi!!

Madhatter · 09-02-2006, 21:08

Is it such a state that we feel the need, or has it always been in a state but we can now afford the technology to set it up?

mani · 10-02-2006, 02:57

cctv is only part of whats happening... did you also know that they plan to fit gps units to new cars as from 2009? this will enable the government and police to track a vehicle and monitor speed etc.... now thats more worrying!

Another thing i haven't mentioned(going off on a tangent here!) apnr cameras... these are replacing what we all know as gatso cameras and gatsoII cameras... More discreet and harder to spot....

Now thats a case of Big Brother is watching you. How long befor everyone starts to get nervous when out because of the suspision of hidden cameras wating their every move. Wouldnt suprise me if in the future we are all tagged the same as some criminals so the govenment of the day knows what we are up to were we go were we shop etc.

thats so tru spudge... In south america they already insert a mini gps tag on serious offenders under the skin so it can't be removed! it started trialing last summer. Any mobile can be located too... it can be triangulated to with a 10 metre radius..

Don't forget that while you are watching kids vandalise your cars on CCTV, some perv might be recording your children playing out for less noble motives.

just so everyone knows the rules on installing cctv on your own property. If the image contains any other persons property or captures any public view you need to get permission to have it... RIPA are the main body governing this and you also need to contact the informational commissioner for authorisation.. If anyone wants a copy of what you may have recorded which they can legally ask for they must pay you for access to it.. usually around a tenner... you can request a copy of the image from a bank for any footage you were in but you would have to say why and pay a tenner...
