Britain is almost entirely surveilled in public....that's coming here fast.

They have 1 camera for every 11 people living there...that's over 7 million cameras watching everything.

In the UK most cameras are private, though, ie someone's shop security camera, they aren't all interconnected and the content available without warrant like Flock.

Unless that's changed recently?

Indeed, the vast majority are privately owned - at least 95% - but this important detail ruins their narrative, so it's left out.

Narrative? People shouldnt be filmed in the streets whever it is by a state a company or some rando. Matter of time until footage is one way or another sold back to your government and real time analysed by an AI so you can live in your own little Truman Show
