Thats some disturbing new technoligy but i think it has already been implemented and used widely in US to keep track of people who are the Main Core database system..

It's really quite simple - if people obeyed the laws of the land, the police wouldn't need to do this.

Can't do the time, don't do the crime.

I have zero sympathy for motorists who behave irresponsibly or illegally.

Well, you probably won't mind when they start looking into your bedroom window to make sure your wearing a condom when making love, to keep with the new population control ordinance, will you.

Typical. These will be the same people screaming for their rights as their hauled of to "camps"

Near enough every police car in Britain has them cameras. I got caught by one, driving my friends car without insurance at 2am about 30 miles from the nearest town (because he was drunk and we were stuck, but hey. It happens.)
And unmarked cars are getting more covert. I recently went on a long motorway journey, and saw at least 4 people being pulled by say, shiny black volvos, or silver ford mondeos, with absolutely nothing showing. They just looked like very expensive, very luxurious, very FAST cars. The lights weren't even visible in the radiator grill or the back window, they were completely hidden in the pillars either side of the windscreen and back window.

And I've noticed as well, coppers driving these cars all seem to wear black shoes, pants, shirt, and a black vest (what it protects them from I don't know).
In my experience, I could tell they wanted me to show fear. The fact I didn't I didn't seems to be the only thing that saved me from 7 days in jail (on another occasion.)

" If you have nothing to hide.." every time I read that it makes me want to retch. It misses the point totally. It is not what we have to HIDE, it is what we have to PROTECT..the Rights..the few rights that we still have left. The police want to have total and absolute control and power over us ' for our own good ' of course, and they are only limited by what we will allow and not get enraged over enopugh to resist.

I have not yet read anything in this thread about the common practice of destroying those camera's and boxes that hold them in Britain. I saw an article that had dozens of pictures of burned out and totally destroyed boxes from people that were tired of being watched and checked..There is a backlash happening and it will increase. Are the computer operators perfect? Do they make mistakes? Can those mistakes lead to an innocent citizen being affected? Of course. So when we calmly accept any and all intrusions and technology we are making ourselves open for total domination.

In the USA the police tried to detect heat signatures from homes by flying around with a heat detector, and only on the basis of a color on a screen, would get a warrant and raid the home, assuming that a cannabis grow was happening. But of course the people with legitimate reasons got raided too...hot tubs, regular home gardens, furnaces, sunning tables in an attic..anything could account for a high temp...and the Supreme Court stopped that. It is no longer legal for the cop's to randomly fly around looking at heat sig's ...and thank God. Next we will see the cop's driving by and shining devices at us on the street that will show thru our clothes, make us naked...just think of all the guffaws and jokes that the cop's will have with that while they slurp their coffee and donuts..

Then it will be large trrucks driving down our streets peering into the homes themselves and looking for ' weapons and drugs ' by their signatures...of course they will be able to see you bathing and having sex...but hey..if you have nothing to hide...right?

Then it will be yellow circles all over everywhere where we all obediently place our hands and spread our legs apart when told to by anyone with a badge.....and we will not think anything of it...and then where will we be? Thats the end...better to go out with a hot barrel melting in your grip than a contented sheep that never saw past the fence.

this stuff technology isn't new it's been in Australia, Tasmania for 3 years now and its only in a few cop cars.

I've seen these on police cars in DC before...was wondering what the hell they were.

Then when they kill someone it's not their fault.

If they've been caught DUI before, they deserve to be monitored - before they kill an innocent peson, just because "they wanted a coupla beers after work"

I agree...*they* should be monitored...not me. Put a breathalizer in their cars like some already have. Just because something is passed off to the public as a solution doesn't mean it's the *only* solution or the *best*.
