“Almost every car traveling into Manchester is being snapped by a new network of police surveillance cameras, it has emerged. Each day, 600,000 motorists’ journeys are being captured, and police will store the data for five years to help combat terrorism, crime and car theft. But civil rights campaigners said they believed it was another step closer to a ‘Big Brother’ state. Police said the new system would bring ‘enormous benefits.’ Manchester is the first city outside London to use Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras in this way.” (05/19/08) Link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/manchester/7409433.stm Filed under: LAND News and PND News and RRND News | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
