Big Brother arrived many years ago and it's only going to get worse.
Already, 1000's of cameras track you weekly. Cameras in service stations, cameras in restaurants, pubs, and most shops, cameras on the roads, on intersections, on bridges, and street cameras as
well.
Google cameras catch you having a leak in the bush, or your wife sunbathing nude in your backyard.
Google employ cameras in aircraft as
well as satellite and the obvious car cameras.
Drones with cameras can be bought by people on the dole with nothing better to do than spy on people.
In todays electronic world, the amount of spying that can be done on us is amazing. They have cameras so small you can miss them even when you're looking for them. The
police and authorities regularly listen in to mobile phone conversations. Your emails are read by organisations you don't even know exist.
The ability to remotely control a lot of electronic items has been with us for at least 20 yrs.
The bottom line is, if you're doing nothing wrong, you haven't got a lot to fear.
The worrying part comes if someone in a position of power with the ability to track and
check up on you, attempts to use that info to "get one over you".
It's becoming an increasing problem, where even
police are being charged with unauthorised access to
police computers, to find out information about people, where they're not entitled to access it.
