In London, every bit of public ground is monitored all the time... every single street. Besides the government, all the different companies and landowners have their own CCTV cameras, so every spot is watched by everybody. In the most monitored city in the world there is one camera for every 14 people. But does this intense surveillance keep Londoners safe?...One of the worlds leading scientists behind the development of smart cameras is Professor James Orwell of Kingston University. The systems his team is developing can detect suspicious activity even before a crime occurs. The way is to present large volumes of data over many months, possibly years, and so that enables the system to develop a statistical model of what is normal and maybe what is abnormal, and so then there is automatic flagging of anything that is considered abnormal. So now COMPUTER algorithms are determining what is normal and abnormal HUMAN behavior which could then be used to justify the use of State force to inflict serious violations of your human rights - all in the name of combating the so-called terrorist threat??
