You will find most Heavily populated areas around the world will have cameras everywhere. This isn't a post 911 introduction, this system has existed for a long time, as mek stated, for crime purposes amoungst other things.Mek-Stizzle wrote:

I'd also like to add that London has a ton of cameras everywhere. That's pretty paranoid in its own right.

In some cases, sure. Australia is doing okay though, we have pretty decent privacy laws, but we have cameras in all major heavily populated areas like the rest. Public Safety is pretty important and the cameras do their job. That's not to say the public hasn't disputed the idea since it's installment though.Turquoise wrote:

Admittedly, I would think Australia has a lot less crime to worry about than the U.S. or the U.K.Zombie_Affair wrote:

Thankfully I can agree, but like the States and U.K, we are just as concerned for the public, whether it be Terrorism, Crime or what have you and in these circumstances, sometimes privacy needs a backseat. It would probably be fair to say 911 and the War on terrorism has played it's part too over the recent years.Turquoise wrote:

Yep. I hate PC. No matter in what context. PC just makes you use 5 words where you could have used one, let criminals walk the streets for the sake of maintaining a quota, and lets people who aren't willing to work hard take the place of more deserving people in work and education.Turquoise wrote:
Mek, while I agree with you in certain ways, I would say the U.K. and much of the rest of Europe appeases Muslims too much.
In short, America is too paranoid and we invade countries with too little provocation (and sometimes none), but Europe bends over too much for the sake of PC.
Uh, no. Most buildings have internal security cameras, and train stations. In the UK the streets have security cameras. Further, msot security cameras are used for internal security, rather than surveillance by police.Zombie_Affair wrote:

This time you've understated the effect of anti-terrorism measures. The Howard government introduced highly unpopular measures giving the Federal Police a wide range of new powers under the guise of anti-terrorism.Zombie_Affair wrote:

You would be thinking of CCTV. Cameras are still operated on the streets, especially in cities.ZombieVampire! wrote:

Be sure to point some out. I did say terrorism has played it's part as of late and public backlash has been happening since the Government (especially Howard) done things the way they did.Zombie_Affair wrote:
