Just found an interesting clip on filming in the UK http://current.com/items/88856223_you_can_t_picture_this
There are 4.2 million CCTV cameras in the uk(1 to every 14 people) but try taking a video clip yourself and you´ll find yourself having problems with the law.
I´m a law abiding citizen so having these cameras all over the place makes me feel a little safer but having a no personal filming law seems a little odd... is it all really necessary to have such an excessive amount of Cameras?.
Do the governments have a good motive apart for terrorism(or is this used as an excuse?) to keep track on everyone via the internet and through CCTV? How many things was Eric Blair (aka George Orwell) right about in the book 1984? We are part of a authoritarianism regime but we just don´t know much?
