“You have no privacy. Get over it.” Not my opinion, but former Sun CEO Scott McNealy’s words. And to quote Jason Benlevi (Pulling The Plug On The Cult Of Tech) on that quote: “When you are a billionaire, with access to a private jet, private security services, private schools, and gated estates, it is probably pretty easy to get over it. For the rest of us it is a huge nasty issue.” Nuff’ said.
At least I don’t live in Great Britain, the country with the highest density of surveillance cameras – and one of the highest crime rates in spite of these units.
A menacing shadow. Even more menacing than the real thing.

Those damn things are all over the place! Paranoia runs rampant!
Paul, if one can’t afford to live in a gated community, surveillance cameras are maybe the poor man’s solution…
Lurking, that’s the word that came to mind. Great capture.

…and the UK is just the example why that paranoia is absolutely futile.
But it helps selling, Thomas! Don’t even think if it makes sense, just count your cash (and/or your voters) at the end of the day.
