Hampshires Deputy Chief Constable, Ian Redhead, said 'Britain risks becoming an 'Orwellian' society as CCTV cameras spread to quiet villages with low crime levels.'
Acting Chief Constable, Colin Langham Fitt, said ID cards would make officers be seen as 'agents of the state', and called for a debate into the ongoing erosion of civil liberties and creeping increase in surveillance.
The former head of Police IT, Phillip Webb said law enforcement surveillance technologies could be misused and undermine public support for them.
If even the police are voicing their concerns, whis is the governement ignoring them and pressing ahead with ever more intrusive methods of TRYING to keep law and order?
