The CCTV that spots crimes BEFORE they happen

The CCTV that spots crimes BEFORE they happen

CCTV cameras which can 'predict' if a crime is about to take place are being introduced on Britain's streets.

The cameras can alert operators to suspicious behaviour, such as loitering and unusually slow walking. Anyone spotted could then have to explain their behaviour to a police officer.

The move has been compared to the Tom Cruise science-fiction film Minority Report, in which people are arrested before they commit planned offences.

Computers are programmed to analyse the movements of people or vehicles in the camera frame. If someone is seen lurking in a particular area, the computer will send out an alarm to a CCTV operator.

I find this kind of disturbing...and i see it as another step into controling the masses.What's next?Cameras that read our minds?

This isn't surprising . . . but should be scary. Just one step closer to George Orwell's 'Thought Police' . . .
