As a resident of the UK, I can fully realte to this post. We have seen a massive boost in street cameras, speed cameras, police cars with cameras, etc... It is becoming a 'Big Brother' state. Although I understand some of the surveillance that takes place, to try and counteract the terrorism threat, we do feel like 'good' citizens are being unlawfully watched. The introduction of finger print scanners, as you mentioned is just one more intrusion into the law biding citizens life. Steve Hi

Good blog. As a resident of the UK, I can fully realte to this post. We have seen a massive boost in street cameras, speed cameras, police cars with cameras, etc… It is becoming a ‘Big Brother’ state.

Although I understand some of the surveillance that takes place, to try and counteract the terrorism threat, we do feel like ‘good’ citizens are being unlawfully watched.

The introduction of finger print scanners, as you mentioned is just one more intrusion into the law biding citizens life.
