Civil liberty campaigners have been demonstrating across Europe under the motto "Freedom, not fear" against what they see as a Big Brother approach to surveillance. The largest protest was in the German capital Berlin.
Personally ,cctv'sw camera are installed ,because its politicans are self centered and more interested in the minority of society ,and so monitering its subjects,The excuse terrorist.,The terrorist is the legal western polticans ..Remove these prats from govt,then no need for cameras.Intelligence captures the ones who have they ideaology of hate,against countries ,not cameras.
The EU has just agreed from August to pass on details of the European bank transactions to the US authorities under the SWIFT programme. The Civil Rights activist seem to have missed the latest 'invasion' into our private financial affairs from across the Atlantic. The number of successful criminal prosecutions in the UK has increased since the CCTV's evidence introduced. Any criminal caught or a terror attack prevented can only justify the necessity of being watched by a law abiding citizen.
In one hand paparazzi claim and have the right to pursue everyone if is in public space. On the other hand people are revolted against street surveillance cameras. (?!)
no freedom in Europe.
Cameras and surveillance systems won´t stop crimes or terrorism from happening, they can only help to catch the criminal after the crime has been conducted or to afterwards trying to understand how an act of terrorism happened. The REAL way to prevent crime and terrorism from happening is that there are jobs, liberty, legality in the state in which people live, and people also need to have a feeling that their life is meaningful and pleasant. But these things cost money, which can be acquired only by raising taxes, and these taxes have to be collected from the wealthy/superwealthy upper class, who don´t want to pay any taxes, even though that after paying these taxes they would still have about 10-100 times more money and property when compared to the poor and the middle class. A sense of social justice has been destroyed by this from of "bandit capitalism" which has been going on ever since the early 80´s.
In 11Corinthians 3:17 we read "Now the LoRd is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is LIBERTY". As amorality replaces morality, an amoral people are suspicious by nature. They want information but are reluctant to give it. A catch 22. This applies to government and people. America is appearing to be one of the most amoral countries along with others. A thief on the run wants information, far more information than a moral people. Like God's laws of economics, this fact in nature is chiseled in stone. Is the world going back to morality and gaining freedom? The answer should be obvious to all.
Great report! We need constant focus on such matters because there is no other way to monitor the disproportionate growth of the Big Brother. It's unfortunate that it takes little girls like Leena to make a big deal about this while the older generation just lays dormant and waits for the government to set up cameras in their homes...in the name of ''security'' of course!
