Hide in the crowd?

Forget it, that's over. Thanks to new camera technology: giga-pix cameras.

Zoom.

70K x 30K pixels (21K Megapixel). Being in use for public surveillance today.

No doubt there will be those with the opposite viewpoint/opinion but that should be a great aid in helping the authorities id suspects at a marathon for example.

Not if they are dressed as the honey monster.

Looks photo-chopped to me. But who cares? If you are not doing anything wrong why worry?

Haha, let's play a game. Somewhere in the crowd is Scumbag Steve's Canuck Cousin. Where?

And what's happened here? Towards the bottom right of the image.

Because people have the right to privacy and to live their lives without being under surveillance 24/7.

Same can be said about bugging your working place and have mikes and cams in your appartement. Nothing wrong with that. And since you are an innocent, well-meaning guy, it must also not be of your concern who can access such datasets behind the veil of the claimed regulations. I mean the real access - not the appeasement laws that politicians refer to to make your heart beat calm and steadily.

People also had no problems with the Stasi or the Gestapo as long as they had not done anything wrong and did not disagree with the regime.

I think people should really be more suspicious of governments and lobbies and politicians. Never trust them. Never. Their record speaks against them.

Work places here are filled with cameras. Not only for security but to watch employees. Bugging ones residence or placing cameras in it is not legal unless there is cause to do so and warrant for surveillance is issued. Taking a picture of a crowd and being able to see clearly any individual is nowhere remotely close to Stasi or Gestapo. It is simply a picture and a clear one at that.

Not impressed bro, you don't need to be big brother to have that capability. Anyone willing to sign a 2 year contract with AT&T can do it:



PS: I don't know why you are suddenly worried Skybird. It is fully legal to take pictures of a crowd is it not?

This statement is the ultimate servile capitulation to your king - your acceptance of his system to exploit his subjects.

Once upon a time there was a man - Mr Hillman - climbing the hill, proclaiming the hill and the trees to be his property.

Then he forced (with a whip) another man in chains - Mr Arborvir from Africa - to cut some trees, roll them down the hill and float them to the market for 30 days. Mr Hillman sold the trees for 100 credits and went back uphill with Mr Arborvir.

For his business Mr Hillman had to care for the availability of slaves like Mr Arborvir. He had to pay for guards, food, clothes, a save place to sleep, transportation to the trees, the health of the slaves as for axes, whips and seeds for new trees.

It's Mr Hillman's smart idea to make a living. Little to no work, well payed.
Some foolish people came up with the idea to free the slaves.

So Mr Hillman asked a free slave - Mr Arborvir, who changed his name to Treeman - to cut some trees, roll them down the hill, float them to the market, sell them and come back up the hill, to hand over the money. Due to his freedom and know-how he will be payed for that.

But he would have to care himself for food, clothes, a save place to sleep, transportation to the trees and his health. That' the savour of freedom, you know.

Mr Treeman did as advised for 30 days and when he handed over the 100 credits he's got at the market, Mr Hillman gave him 30 credits for the job, forced 20 credits to the community as taxes, used 20 credits to buy a new axe and some seeds for new trees and kept 30 credits for his own pocket.

Employees do the work their employer doesn't want to do and they pay him money for that.

This is our King's system. It's our best of all systems. Kept going by our kings - our true ineligible rulers. They care for several tricks to keep the people unware of the real deal.

Mr Hillman still cares for the availability of free slaves. He invests in tree-cutting machines to raise his own profit and to raise the amount of free slaves willing to work for only 20 credits. He still invests in guards and whips - police and military - to keep all free slaves in favour of his own wishes. He cares for laws and rules to protect property - especially his property - and to keep calm. He cares for uneducated people, just smart enough to do the jobs.
He changed the real gold credits into paper and finally into pure information. He makes the people believe into this information and forces investments of taxmoney, if they lose trust. He cares for a support-system to make the people believe they have a say.

As you see right now, the internet provides information to make the people realize and distrust the king. So he observes the people now, to get aware of any resistance to the system in time, to nip it in the bud.

So behave well and you don't have to worry.
