Make way for "Idiocracy"! (Sorry if you have not seen it. But it fits.)
I think to technically be under 24-hr surveillance, someone needs to actually be monitoring the camera output all day and night. 24 hours of recording is not the same thing. Not even if you review it regularly.
Knowing that I am being monitored and cannot avoid it sort of makes me want to act up. I don't want to be one of those Kafkaesque characters whom just get overwhelmed by being pawns in some terrible world-gone-wrong. I mean, at least you can be wearing a hot pink jumpsuit when you die for no reason.
So London is just as camera-crazed as they say on B3ta. Did you witness anyone being arrested for taking photographs of public areas or police officers? I have heard of that bullshit.
I've heard of such antics by the police in London before, but I've never witnessed it. In all honesty, I pretty much ignore the cameras... I've read somewhere that over half of them are either fake or broken anyway.
There are so many, they'd probably have to employ over half the population just to review the recorded footage... forget about monitoring it live.
Stand on any street corner in London and you could probably see at least 20 cameras (though not necessarily pointed at you).
