Britons’ privacy at ‘real risk’ from weakly-regulated street cams – watchdog — RT News:

Britain’s ‘surveillance society’ increasingly functions in ways the public is unaware of. An abundance of CCTV – and roadside – cameras misleads the public as to the true nature and scope of government snooping, the surveillance watchdog says.

The overall rise in surveillance culture over the past decades has not only led to public ignorance over how road cameras (dash-cams) scan millions of journeys and registration details daily, but also to a rise in private CCTV habits that has Britons snooping on each other and feeling the pressure of constantly being watched by their neighbors.
