British Pubs ordered to install Big Brother CCTV cameras

The change we need?

Big Brother-style plans to force pubs to install CCTV cameras raise ‘serious privacy concerns’, the surveillance watchdog has warned.

Police are telling pubs, clubs, restaurants and off-licences they will not support their licensing applications unless they agree to train the intrusive cameras on their customers.

Britain is certainly leading in the 'Big Brother' surveillance stakes. We may not like it, but as new technologies are developed, we can expect governments to utilise them in their fight to maintain the rule of law.

The unfortunate reality is that once one country successfully adopts such a policy, it's allies will quickly follow.
