Closed-circuit television (CCTV), also known as video
surveillance.
Wherever you go, someone will be logging your
movements – whether it is the police or the big supermarket chains that are
anxious to monitor the behavior of customers in their stores, but the vital
fact to remember is that all private CCTV cameras may be accessed by the
authorities and are therefore, in effect, part of the state's surveillance
system.
Why is CCTV
an infringement of privacy?
There is infringement of privacy if personal freedom
and privacy of an individual is limited or affected in any other way.
Observing people using cameras is generally considered
as an infringement of privacy because the personal freedom and privacy of an
individual is affected.
Unsolicited capturing images of a person is generally
considered as an infringement of privacy because the captured images can be
used in a manner in which personal freedom or privacy of that person is
restricted or affected in another way.
• Whatever happened to the common law value of
'innocent until proven guilty'?
• Research shows that CCTV simply does not work, so
isn't it just a huge waste of money?
• Why do the media, police and government portray CCTV
as an effective tool?
We believe the public has an absolute right to know
when they are interacting with technology that could affect their privacy and
liberty.
Don't you?
Let's fight this battle before governments and big
corporations track our every move.
Abolish CCTV
to protect us
“Against the state, corporations and the malevolence
of future governments.”
CCTV
profoundly harms your privacy and liberty
"8th June is the anniversary of the publication of George Orwell's novel '1984'. The date is marked anually by actions against surveillance, by groups from around the world. But you don't need to be part of an organised group to take part, just do something yourself - be creative!"
