Big Brother Cab: Taxi CCTV to spy on passengers
Your every move and word could be recorded and used against you – human rights activists in Britain fight an increasing number of surveillance cameras – they’re now to be installed in every taxi in the city of Oxford. Authorities in the British city plan to install an audio and video surveillance system in every cab by 2015. Campaigners have called the city council’s decision a staggering invasion of privacy and claim people’s rights will be violated. However authorities insist that the risk of intrusion is acceptable compared to the public safety benefits. RT on Twitter twitter.com RT on Facebook www.facebook.com

Why don’t the police put camera’s in the board room’s and government? places (the places where crime is taking place)? Then maybe they’ll stop writing more horrid laws, regulations and unpayable taxes, preferably before all us sheeple are dead.
1984 Orwellian New World Order…..many have warned you this was on the way, many ignored & laughed…..its too late to stop it now. ?
It’s been all going on for a long time. Some for your safety, other to be truly intrusive. This information is barely being? made public, but the tech has been out for way to long. Just a tip of what they want us to know.
Dah Lulz
That technology is not going to make you feel safer.
Nor will it have the cabbie feel; or the cab remain, safer. It also won’t actually make you safer.
Gambling with the delicate? balance of public & private tradition is both extraordinarily stupid and highly unlikely to yield anything productive, with the exception of urban revanche militia tech contracts.
A stool analyser should be? placed in every public loo so the fascists can check out our shit. And happens in the nation that kept fought Hitler even after whole Europe was under his boot…
Make a Facebook? page for all taxi passengers talk about the mismanagement of the government and everything that is bothering us. Give like
Since we joined the Lisbon Treaty we have napoleonic law that states guilty until? proven innocent, instead of the previous UK common law innocent until proven guilty. I believe that the CCTV is for their face recognition database. You can run, but you can’t hide.
Voyeuristic? perverts are governing us.

Ah, you British SLAVES. Cameras all over your streets, and now in your cabs. You people are either the biggest exhibitionists in the world or the biggest SLAVES. What next? Government cameras in your kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms? ? Sounds like 1984. BRITISH SLAVES!
I am a 21* year cab veteran in San Francisco, and I guarantee you that the activist who thinks an emergency button is going to do the trick is quite incorrect, there just isn’t time in a real emergency. Recording everybody is the democritization of the inconvenience. Public life is public life. I agree? with the politician’s observation. In SF the main anti-surveillance activist recently had an incident, and he told me how glad he was that the hotel camera recorded it.
I won’t be getting in any taxi’s then… if the drivers don’t like that… well- get rid of? the cameras or loose your income.
UK is a Fascist cesspool. If I ever catch a cab in Oxford I’ll repeat into the camera: “Fascist UK government spy New world order scumbag criminal organization of murdering Imperial Dark Army psychopathic warmongering filth.” I’m guessing the Cab may? as well drop me off at the Police station
at that point.
Everyone’s a suspect? in the UK…
easy, boycott, nuff? said
What a lot of people in the UK don’t know but I do, is that government agencies and the police can break into someone’s homes without a Judge’s permission (like the old days), after Tony Blair took away that right which protect people in society from the State. When these criminals break in, they go through everything in you premises even into your bedroom, serious crimes have been committed and as final insult, plant surveillance devices in your place. Yet people worry about “Big brother? cabs?”
@Lychee7000 I agree, is what I call an open prison hellhole, you are surrounded with cameras & your where abouts monitor every day, home violated after the system breaks in, even though not? a lot of people know this since they use stealth when they break in, your bank details passed on to the gov, they even know where you spent your credit card, what you bought and how must it all cost, eavesdrop to your phone communication, emails, internet activities, certainly makes people look like hamsters.
@DackIsBack? it’s not drivers who are pushing this, it will be forced by the gov
@christopherfulkerson let’s me install? one in your kitchen, I am sure you will thank me for that
@hotemil I know… but who has the most sway over allowing or denying this?
The drivers… if they just refuse the cameras the state will have to use force, acts of force are illegitimate- if they use force people will unite against? it.
But if they just allow this to happen, it will happen.
No resistance? leads to total domination and control.
like how privacy? is pronounced prevecy,..lol
THOSE WHO WILL SACRIFICE LIBERTY FOR SECURITY DESERVE NEITHER! The ones putting this in place are repugnant to every Human’s? rights!
That’s it, I’m not going to use the? taxi service anymore.
