If you’re law abiding there’s nothing to worry about.
No one is normally sat watching cameras all day - they’re reviewed after an event in most cases.

If someone wants to record me lifting a weight, driving my car, talking to a friend or kissing the missus in the street then crack on

Invasion of privacy and a means for interfering and meddling in people’s lives, observing, recording and monetising normal human (non-criminal) behaviour.

MI5 now involved, which suggests that it could be a breach of security by a whistleblower or even a breach of the Official Secrets Act.

According to a piece in the Mirror, it says "According to the Mail on Sunday, a whistleblower approached media outlets using a now-deleted Instagram account, offering “damning” footage of the “totally f*****g hopeless” Health Secretary in a “very compromising position.”

Now, who does that remind you of?

I know who it reminds me of!

And before the furor I expect to receive, I do not condone the behaviour of the now-defunct minister involved.

A bit of both, I'd say. If we didn't have such a big criminal underclass, we wouldn't need them.

Good companies support and protect whistle blowers in order to promote honesty and good company values. It says a lot about this government if they go hunting down the whistle blower.

It's the kind of thing that can't be put in the public domain, but it would be telling to see how many crimes, from acts of terrorism to scroats causing problems, have actually been averted through use of visual surveillance. My feeling is they work for prosecution purposes but generally it's too late by then, the damage being already done.

An invasion of my civil liberties, if I want to piss in the petrol tank of next door's car at 3am what business is it of the authorities?

Most town councils have staff watching bus lane cameras for 6 hours every working day in order to issue fines to car drivers to boost their budgets. ( instead of mending the roads or clearing up litter)

This is where the EU has a lot to answer for. If I want to install cameras at the back warehouse of my local Argos to find out what REALLY goes on, then what business is it of anyone else?

How many thousands did The Sun pay the whistleblower?
