Two Surveillance Britain stories

The Mail report what happened when a rail passenger dared to take photos on an overcrowded train:
'A rail passenger who took photographs of an overcrowded train carriage was threatened with arrest under anti-terror laws.

Nigel Roberts, 41, was so appalled by the cramped conditions commuters have to endure he warned a ticket inspector that dangerous overcrowding could cost lives.

But when the IT worker showed his mobile phone photos of luggage-crammed aisles and exits he was told it is 'illegal' to take such pictures and threatened with prosecution.

The inspector then demanded Mr Roberts' personal details.'



Big Brother Watch reports on the extent of CCTV Smart Cars in Britain:
'54 CCTV Smart Cars operated in 31 local councils in Britain, caught and fined at least 188,000 motorists between April 2009 and March 2010.'
