Big Brother Cams

Police State Culture


UK License Plate Cameras Have "Gaps In Coverage"


UK police are sad that despite having the most comprehensive driver surveillance system of any developed country, there are still gaps in their coverage. From the article: 'The cameras automatically record plate/time/location information and send it to a central data store, which has complete nationwide records for 6 years.' Also interesting is that an unspecified 'particular driving style' can be used to evade detection by the cameras. It appears, however, that criminals are well aware of the cameras and take other routes. Big Brother technology, coming soon to a country near you!"

I will bet a sizable amount of my own money that this is also the case in the US.

A precursor for what's underway here. I've said for decades, watch what unions and government do in England, and it will follow here in 10 to 15 years. NSA is building a HUGE data storage facility in Bluffdale, Utah that has the capacity to hold 100 years worth of the world's electronic communications. Remember the list that leaked about DHS keywords? The fallback has been that there is so much data out there that NSA hasn't the time to run it all down and make useful information out of it, but with this storage facility's capacity to hold years of bits and pieces and a classified program called Stellar Wind, they can data mine GPS logs, bank transactions, credit card transactions, email, blogs, land line calls and cell phone calls over your lifetime and put together a package describing your life. Stellar was designed to run down foreign terrorists, but in 2004 it was turned inward under the Patriot Act. A number of NSA analysts resigned in protest and 13 or 14 Senators wrote a letter of protest in 2004, but the activity continues today under the Uhbama/Napolitano regime.
We're all on a list just for being here.

The NSA is doing what all spy agencies do with encrypted communications they can't break open: they archive it for later decryption.

So yea, they need lots of storage for all that VPN traffic they can't read right now.

This is actually just the latest and largest to come here to Utah. They've been doing that stuff for some time now around here.
Salt Lake was also a popular site during the fifties and sixties for relocating Russian defectors, as they were able to blend easily into the diverse population around here.
