said by Pv8man:Yeah, for some reason the UK has been on a speed course to a police state.
Within 2 years the UK now has 1 street camera for every 9 people.
What ever happens in the UK, eventually comes to the US.
It's as if the UK is the testing ground for things to implement in the US
I quite like how the Americans here like to spout crap about countries they have likely never placed a foot in, apart from probably between connections at Heathrow.
The "we have millions of cameras" is due in part to a study that estimated the number of cameras based on how many there were in a street in London. It also doesn't discrimate between private and publicly owned cameras.
All this "police state" rubbish is totally false.
