UK - świat kamer

Bo fotoradar ma zapobiegać a nie karać!
W UK każdy praktycznie fotoradar jest dobrze oznakowany i widoczny z daleka, mało są znaki pionowe informujące o fotoradarze w okolicy. Co daje spore efekty prewencji, ludzie widząc znak fotoradaru instynktownie zwalniają.

Masz rację kolego. Dodam od siebie, że oprócz znaków pionowych ostrzegających cię przed radarem masz jeszcze znaki na jezdni - takie poziome kreski na pasie ruchu określające zasięg urządzenia. Samo urządzenie do jest pokryte żółtą odblaskową farbą lub folią żeby było widoczne przez kierowców.
Niedobre w tym wszystkim jest że te wielkie skrzynki gatso wymieniane są na mniejsze na wyższych słupach i ciężej je dostrzec.
Poza tym 99 procent ulicznych radarów musi ci zrobić zdjęcie z tyłu dlatego masz żółto czarne rejestracje z tyłu a białe z przodu. Zdjęcia zrobione przez taki radar kiedy jesteś do niego ustawiony przodem jest nieważne.

Chcesz przetestować? Jesteś w Londynie? Proszę bardzo:

Wybierz się na przejażdżkę nocą w stronę Chiswick roundabout. Jak lecisz od Acton w stronę ronda Przyspiesz do ilu chcesz. Fotoradar zrobi Ci fotkę z przodu a mandatu nigdy nie otrzymasz.

Outraged parents have hit out at a school in Birmingham after pupils discovered CCTV cameras in the school's toilets.

Youngsters at Grace Academy in Chelmsley Wood claim they returned from half-term to find staff had installed the cameras without notifying them or their parents.

Some parents are furious at what they say is a "total invasion of privacy" and claim some pupils are so anxious about being watched they are refusing to use the facilities.

One mother whose teenage daughter attends the school is concerned the footage could fall into the wrong hands.

She told the Sunday Mercury: "She came home from school and told me security cameras had been installed in the girl's toilets but we didn't know anything about it.

"You would expect the school to have consulted parents first yet we received no information and no letters have been sent home explaining this decision."

Now this aint a person behind the CCTV, its electronic saying to the computer your acting suspiciously.
So what if you just walk in central London, according to the camera, your moving suspiciously and alerts the Authoritys, the police come with Heckler and Kosh machine guns and order you on the ground.

Well we all know what happened to Charles Mendes dont we?
Innocent man gets shot at point blank range.

So now we have to be carful how we walk!

Drony idą na wojnę z bandytami

Policja na Wyspach chce wykorzystać bezzałogowe maszyny szpiegowskie m.in. do patrolowania dróg i obserwacji gangów - twierdzi "The Times".
W Iraku i Afganistanie niewielkie bezzałogowe systemy latające (UAS - Unmanned Aircraft Systems), tzw. drony, są od dawna używane przez wojsko do lokalizowania i fotografowania tajnych kryjówek talibów. W Stanach Zjednoczonych prace nad takimi urządzeniami prowadzi się od dziesięcioleci, a CIA przyznała, że stosowała je już w latach 70.

Jedna pozytywna rzecz kamer na ulicach to to, że można sprawdzić jaki jest traffic:)
Np. Londyn

Lub autostrady i drogi o szczególnym znaczeniu.

Kilka razy pomogło mi to uniknąć korków.

York's CCTV control room ‘left unmanned for hours’

T is meant to be the eyes and ears of police in York, monitoring the city’s network of CCTV cameras round the clock.

But a former member of staff at City of York Council’s CCTV control room claimed it was regularly left unmanned for hours, with the bank of video screens switched off.

Wayne Garbutt also claimed that when the screens were switched on, staff who were meant to be monitoring them sometimes instead read newspapers, looked on the internet or watched DVDs of programmes such as On The Buses.

The allegations have been put by The Press to the council, which said some claims had already been investigated, but any new issues now raised by Mr Garbutt would be investigated as a matter of urgency.

The authority said it was committed to working with police to protect residents’ and visitors’ safety, and round-the-clock monitoring of the CCTV cameras formed a major part of that work.

Bill Woolley, director of city strategy, said under no circumstances was it permissible for staff to undertake any activities that interfered with their monitoring responsibilities while on duty.

But he also said there was a legal requirement for staff to have frequent breaks from their duties. “Staff have the option of leaving the control room during these breaks, or remaining in it,” he said.

He said the authority took any concerns raised by employees extremely seriously. “While employed by the council, Mr Garbutt raised several issues that were dealt with in accordance with the council’s HR procedures,” he said.

“However, since choosing to leave the council, Mr Garbutt has raised a number of other issues. These have also been considered in accordance with the council’s policies and procedures.

“We will look into any new issues that have now been raised by Mr Garbutt as a matter of urgency.”

Mr Garbutt, who received an area commander’s certificate of appreciation earlier this year for his dedication and diligence following a sexual assault in the city centre which was caught on camera, claimed he had decided to “blow the whistle” to The Press after his complaints to the council had been “brushed under the carpet”.

He said the lack of response led him to mount his own surveillance campaign inside the control room at York police station, taking photos and video with an HD iphone.

Pictures he has supplied to The Press show a bank of blank screens, and a member of staff reading The Press and looking at the internet when Mr Garbutt alleges they should have been monitoring the screens.

Mr Garbutt, who worked in the room on the night shift from May 2008 to May 2010, said he had loved his job in the centre but became increasingly concerned over the two years about a “lax approach” to maintaining 24-hour monitoring of the camera network, which was one of the key parts of the job.

“The CCTV network of cameras across the city is the eyes and ears of the police force,” he said. “The control room staff can spot all kinds of incidents on the bank of 17 screens in the control room and alert officers. People in York have a right to expect that the CCTV cameras paid for with their taxes are being monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but this has just not been happening.”

He claimed the control room went completely unmanned on a number of occasions, often because staff left early with no warning, taking lieu time.

“I repeatedly turned up for work to start my night shift only to find the room in total darkness and the screens turned off,” he said. “I had to spend the first 20 minutes of my shift switching on the screens.”

He said he also found the police radio had been turned down so low that it was difficult to hear. “The radio is meant to be turned up so that staff can pick up when an incident happens, so they can turn on video feeds from that particular location.”

The council was asked whether the authority accepted or disputed Mr Garbutt’s claim that the room repeatedly went unmanned with the screens turned off, and also whether the commitment to round-the-clock monitoring was compromised, when only one employee was on duty, by the legal requirement for staff to take breaks.

A spokeswoman replied: “Staffing of the CCTV room is not an issue for the council or its partners the police, with whom we work closely to ensure that we make the most efficient and effective use of the system to fight crime and public disorder.”

Nie o kamerach, ale też o inwigilacji...

TheGift73 writes

"By far the most controversial bill discussed in the Queen's speech today has to be the 'Draft Communications Bill' which '...will allow the police and intelligence agencies to collect data on communications, like texts and emails, flexible to changes in technology, such as the Internet. This will apply UK wide.' The Queen's Speech has set out the government's legislative plans for the next year."

El Reg has the skinny on the CCDP related parts. From their article: "It's unclear if those 'strict safeguards' mean that a warrant, for example, would be needed before spooks could access such data. The rough proposal appeared to only fuzzily indicate that such protection for British citizens would be provided, however."

Big Brother or peeping tom? UK installs CCTV in school bathrooms, changing rooms

Over 200 UK state schools have installed cameras in bathrooms and changing rooms to monitor students, a recent surveillance survey reported. British parents will likely be shocked by the study’s findings.

The survey is based on a freedom of information request conducted by Big Brother Watch, an anti-surveillance activist group. The group said they were shaken by the results, which was much higher and more extensive than expected.

The report "will come as a shock to many parents", Nick Pickles, Director of Big Brother Watch said. "Schools need to come clean about why they are using these cameras and what is happening to the footage”.

A total of 825 cameras were installed in the bathrooms and changing rooms of 207 different schools across England, Scotland and Wales, according to data provided by more than 2,000 schools.

It remains unclear where in the bathrooms and changing rooms the cameras are located, who watches the footage and whether any pupils were recorded while changing.

Technologia monitoringu rozwija się szybciej niż zdolność jej regulacji prawnej – uważa pełnomocnik rządu Wielkiej Brytanii ds. monitoringu Andrew Rennison. Ostrzega przed ostrą reakcją opinii publicznej na coraz liczniejsze kamery wysokiej rozdzielczości.

- Mamy do czynienia z Wielkim Bratem na wielką skalę. Nowoczesne kamery mają zdolność wychwycenia poszczególnych twarzy z odległości pół mili (ponad 3/4 km) – powiedział pełnomocnik dziennikowi "The Independent".

Rennison ujawnił, że już teraz prowadzi się badania nad powiązaniem oprogramowania służącego do identyfikacji twarzy z policyjną bazą danych. Umożliwi to błyskawiczną identyfikację osób wcześniej notowanych przez służby bezpieczeństwa.
