surveillance

A creepy photo and story from today's newspaper about a 'spy drone' being used in the intensely scanned CCTV cities of the UK. And a rather bizarre statement from one of the senior police officers interviewed:

We're always looking at ways of putting more officers on the streets, and maximising technology is a powerful way of achieving this. Our drone will be used primarily to support our antisocial behaviour taskforce, Axis, in gathering all-important evidence to put offenders before the courts.

That's putting more police on the streets?
