Get used to it… We live in a surveillance society and it will get more so in the coming years. Cameras on street corners, HMA’s recording all cars in their areas, cameras in shops and offices. As we all use cards more and more, so we leave a trail of data about what we buy and where. I just looked at my CC statement (online of course) and it would not take a genius to see that I have been visiting someone in hospital this week, and at what times. (Costa Coffee if you are interested).
Criminals still manage to hide their identities, or at least the sensible ones do, but the Man on the Clapham Omnibus, doesn’t really have a chance, so he may as well relax and go with the flow. Do I mind that Tesco or Amazon know what I spend my hard-earned on - no, not really. Do I care that my bank knows that I am visiting a hospital, again, no. Frankly, there is enough to worry about in this world without concerning myself with Big Brother.
