Here's another dimension of British security: you may have noticed, in the reporting on various terrorist actions in the UK, that they have a lot of closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras surveilling public spaces. It turns out that, in four months' time, a national network of roadside cameras, will be able to 'read' 50 million license plates a day. The cameras will pinpoint the precise time and location of all vehicles on the road; the data will be stored for 5 years.
What a crazy mixture: Big Brother on the one hand, watching every car other the road; on the other, sharia law upheld by British courts.
