Big Brother?

Fortunately, I do not live in London and nor will I ever do so with the sort of surveillance levels that Westminster City Council is proposing. It is about time that protest was made against this practice by councils such as Westminster, before such technology and practice becomes nationwide.

Another reader mentioned the "money-grabbing" aspect of this new policy and that too is certainly a matter for concern. As is the total inability of non-human agents to show disretion.

In addition, cannot wi-fi transmitting devices be disrupted by other local transmitters?
