Grissom   10 #373 Posted March 24, 2009 Shhh! Don't tell anyone, but it's already happening. There's black helicopters that fly over at night while we're sleeping and they drop micro-dust which films everything we do and say, and tracks us with GPS. Google Street View is nothing compared to this... Remember though - keep it to yourself...  You forgot to mention the Cameras and microphones they're installing in each of the new street lamp posts we're having installed in Sheffield Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
KenH   10 #374 Posted March 24, 2009 You forgot to mention the Cameras and microphones they're installing in each of the new street lamp posts we're having installed in Sheffield  It is very easy to mock, but we need to remember that the UK is the most spied on society in europe, if not the world.  We can laugh at the idea of nano robots being dropped into our garden to spy on our have every action or lamposts being fitted with cameras. But if we were having thsi conversation twenty years ago then the idea that we could log on to a hoem PC and see images of almost any building on the planet would provoked similar titters.  The problem isn't what can be done now, it is that everything we allow without challenge sets a precedence for the future. Changes will come in insidious small steps that head towards an unnacceptable loss of privacy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
chem1st   10 #375 Posted March 24, 2009 :hihi: Here is the legless lass  If they had took the picture at night you would have seen more legless people  Just noticed that her legs have the shadow of a full body So is she legless and shadowless, or upperbodyless?

skipskap   10 #376 Posted March 24, 2009 I wouldnt know I meant just from outside but then again Im not a pro at what you would look for obviously you are, so what else do you do when staking a property out then?. .  But a druggy can stake out a property by walking down the street. You don't have to be a pro to know this. Just a finger on the pulse of modern society. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Yog Sothoth   10 #378 Posted March 24, 2009 I sometimes wonder if the 4 cats which have taken up residence in my home are in fact sophisticated cameras/spy devices, enabling The Illuminati or Skull and Bones or the WI to keep tabs on me because of my subversive and radical views and activities in the past. Maybe The White Rose is a sophisticated listening device too. She certainly collects plenty of my DNA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

MonkeyLover   10 #382 Posted March 25, 2009 The legality is actually based on what the focus of the photo is. If it's a photo showing a general scene, then it's not breaching anything. If that were the case, photos of festivals, street shots in general, crowd scenes at football, and all other types of photos would be causing all sorts of problems. Google photographs areas, not specific houses, hence there's no breach of DPA.  (Before you mention disclaimers on tickets for events, disclaimers in law are the equivalent of cucumber in food. Totally pointless)  Hey! I like cucumber - but that's so funny! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

waldershelf   10 #384 Posted March 25, 2009 I had a look on there and I have to say its rubbish! it only goes down a limited number of streets and the quality of the pictures is very poor. Any one who's worried about the threat to civil liberties or privacy can relax it's a waste of time!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
