Orwell's London neighborhood covered in spy-cameras

Gadgets & Tech – Dozens of private and public spy-cameras surveil the streets, walls and windows of the area around George Orwell's apartment. Britain, the nation that "sleepwalked into a surveillance society," has created the landscape that Orwell envisioned, a world where your every step is recorded from every angle.

Looks like England is the model the Bush administration is working towards.

Sorry to spam this article but this is already being discussed here in the states as well. Is the future going to be cameras everywhere?

I wonder how many people get robbed on those streets? Even better, i wonder how many women get raped or how many cars get stolen? I wish my street was watched like that! When i want privacy, i go INTO my home not out. Just think about how much safer the streets would be. THINK ABOUT IT PEOPLE!

No way. They will know who goes in and out of your house. They might even make a law to have cameras in your house as well. Nope. I would not want cameras in our streets in the U.S.A..I would suggest that your think about it very very well.
