The Brits and their cameras


ecarlson - Posted on 14 March 2010

I think it's funny how the British are fine with having the most surveillance cameras per capita, but when Google comes in to photograph public streets to aid in navigation, it's all "Oh noooo!  Privacy invasion!!!"  The survey says that 24 per cent said that they believed it was simply ‘a service for burglars'... for one, I think that's like saying google earth or any satelite mapping service is just a "service for terrorists," as both ignore all the many valid things access to this imagary inables.  Second, I'm having a hard time imagining a valid and unbiased survey in which one of the questions is:

Google Street View is which of the following:

A. A service for burglars

B. Of the Devil

C. A service for peeping toms

D. All of the above
