Britain's top prosecutor warns that surveillance technology is creating a police state

Ok, I hate to sum up the UK in one word. But... duh.<p>The UK really needs another leader like Thatcher, this time not attacking socialism but the whole "using crime to sell surveillance" culture. Go Sir Ken Macdonald!

sometimes the only way to change something, requires that it first gets out of control. its hard to create a revolution against nothing.

The editorialized headline made me want to write a comment to the effect of "it's never the technologies we need to fear, but the abuses of the hands they are in"...good thing I read the article and found that was the gist of it.
