I wonder

I wonder if Oyster II (the revenge) will continue to function as an extension of the CCTV systems we have all come to know and love. I know a whole bunch of Londoners who don't have an Oyster card for precisely this reason. These aren't criminals or terrorists, just people who would prefer to keep their privacy intact and to try and avoid being monitored any more than they already have to put up with.

Given that these folks, who genuinely "have nothing to hide", still turned down TfL's kind offer of an Oyster Card/Travel Monitoring System, what do you suppose is the prevailing opinion amongst the criminal classes?
