"I'm not a fuckwitted Sheep.... and I don't give a shite about protecting doggers rights..... " So are you happy to have your movements tracked 'for your own good'? The EU want it compulsory. Sorry but that is not what a free country is about. | |||
"As we appear to be quite willing (at least our 'representatives do) to throw away yet another civil liberty. Has anyone thought about the consequences to dogging?! Joking aside, why do we (and our mps) allow this erosion? Surely it cannot be another small step in the governments (of all hues) grand sinister plan of totalitarianism, could it? Are we no longer the guardians of freedom by eternal vigilance? Or are we just fuckwitted sheep as our government think/know?" You make some good points there...BUT....they read like opinion, not fact...which is simply going bring out the trolls and gainsayers on here (look at the post which says "I don't give a fuck for doggers rights" whilst also protesting they are not a sheep). Please repost with at least some info as to the source of the "further erosion of freedoms" (and I agree with you, btw) so we can see what our would-be "controllers" have got lined up for us. | |||
"I'm not a fuckwitted Sheep.... and I don't give a shite about protecting doggers rights..... So are you happy to have your movements tracked 'for your own good'? The EU want it compulsory. Sorry but that is not what a free country is about." Why should I worry if anyone is wasting their time tracking my movements.... It's not like my movements are being restricted... so where's the infringement on my freedom ? | |||

Because it's possibly/likely to be the first step in infringing your freedom? Because a right to a private life is one of your human rights and something you should expect? | |||

So no issues here unless you have something to hide" I take it then that yours is a privately owned truck? Otherwise you just might find out your company frowns on the getting down and dirty in your cab...of course that's not going to be a problem is it...until they have good reason to use it against you......that's what forms the "electronic wet dream" for the GCHQ types and their ilk...the ability to collect information that can be used "as required" to keep the sheep in order, or to find and eliminate them if they get too out of hand. "For the good of the rest" of course. | |||

If that is how you feel then never put the location services on your mobile phone..... I hate for you to fall foul of the "who's near you?" Function on fab Nasty pasties!!!! | |||
"Is the fact that the various governments, ministries and 'agencies' want this to be mandatory not ringing any alarm bells? I think tin foil sales will rocket." I'm curious to know whether you think all these people who work for these governments, ministries and agencies must be getting special dispensation from being tracked ... or do you think they are all part of some secret organisation and any misdoing in their daily activities will be struck from the records... Eh! | |||

Just because I dont want to be monitered (all the data will be stored and be accessible by government), it doesnt mean I am a criminal. I value privacy, by all means give away yours, but I dont want mine taken. Its another step to totalitarianism. | |||
"Im not reposting anything. Its my right not to! But our freedoms are being eroded. Thd cctv coverage cannot be justified by the tiny amount of crimes it solves. Banks, bookies, jewellers etc still get robbed. So the prevention argument doesnt stand up. GCHQ want unfettered access to our online communication. That hasn't happened, officially, yet. DNA info is stored about you upon arrest, and it is not destroyed. The technologies are being developed and put in place, the next step is to change the laws to suit the needs of government and they have us sewn up tight. And we invited it." You sound like a person with potentially a lot to hide I can't see why anyone with nothing to hide would really give a flying fuck what kind of monertirng goes on. | |||

"And thats exactly how you walk in to a state of total control of the population. Because you were naive enough to think it was for you benefit. Just how much do you trust an MP? Really?" Can I ask what country you feel embodies a state of "freedom" you admire or desire....? | |||
"And thats exactly how you walk in to a state of total control of the population. Because you were naive enough to think it was for you benefit. Just how much do you trust an MP? Really? Can I ask what country you feel embodies a state of "freedom" you admire or desire....?" Just because we, or others dont have it, is it wrong to aspire to it? Or shall we say 'fuck it, we are halfway to hell, we might as well go the whole hog.'. | |||
"If you don't want to be tracked I assume you never use a mobile phone... Or ever have it switched on Or use a computer... Damn having an IP address tracked" Two wrongs dont make a right. | |||

"I have nothing to hide therefore I couldn't give a shit" That porn on your computer, they will know its there, who is downloading what and also with their phone and car, where they are. Are you really comfortable with that. How about if we start opening your letters to? You know, like in prison. Take this to its logical conclusion, from what liberties we have given away under the guise of 'for societys benefit'. Do you honestly feel safer than in the seventies or eighties? They invented a bogeyman then sold us the tools to protect ourselves. Hasnt worked though, has it? | |||

"Porn is legal as far as I'm aware so what could they possibly do with the info ? " | |||
| |||
"Know what type of porn you are into, then send you links to sites you might like." That'll save me searching then. | |||
| |||
"Porn is legal as far as I'm aware so what could they possibly do with the info ? " You just might want to get a qualified legal opinion on that, in particular on exactly what particular porn is on your machine. BTW in most cases for the stuff that is ruled illegal the offence is "possessing" it...and those images that you went "yeuch" at and deleted can in many cases still be recovered from your hard-drives. You'll be hard put to mount a defence against the mud-slinging that your local press puts up in their feeding frenzy. You don't think this kind of thing could be used to influence/control you eh? How bout if we made all your activities fully public to your kids, mum, dad, extended family and friends, employer or just used them to put you on a black-list? And for the smart-arses who are going to go "Go on, I don't care, then why are you on here, and many other places, under a "handle"? | |||

That doesn't answer the question of what will they use the information for. I can't envisage a government official turning up at the house and saying "give us more tax or I'll tell your mum you're on Fabswingers. | |||
"Porn is legal as far as I'm aware so what could they possibly do with the info ? " A lot of what you think is legal, isnt, and MPs on all sides have made it known they would like to legislate further on what THEY see as suitable for us. | |||
"This has been on the cards for the last 15 years or so, a black box fitted to your car by law to track you. It will receord your movements and also your speeding offences, it will be downloaded at either a service or MOT and fines given out when needed. That was the idea of it back in the 90's when the concept came out." You made a good point there Scouserat until you decided later to play devil's advocate with how helpful it would be if you crashed (as if hundreds of people were dying because they crashed and nobody found them in the UK). Priapus and Scouserat make some very valid points and those who offer up the "I'm not a crim so I don't give a fuck what they know" are simply being naive or have no respect for the concepts of individual freedom that used to be held in such high esteem in this country. Let's take just one little example: the black boxes (actually with the exception of military equipment they're rarely black but never mind) to be fitted to cars. The average speed monitor is just one superb idea that must have the pound signs lighting up in the revenue gathering depts of police/councils across the country. Right now they don't have the manpower to chase you for minor infringements, so, unless you fall into one of their camera traps or it's one of their talivan "fill the coffers/purge days" they only go after the stupid/silly people who push things too far. Wouldn't be the case with your black box: it turns you in and they collect. Several high-end car makers already have working in-car comms systems that talks directly to your dealer via mobile radio links to prewarn them about faults/spares or servicing due/needed on that particular vehicle. Extending it to do much more reporting (like ave speed, location, straying into things like congestion zones etc etc) is easy-peezy. Remember the balloon floated about road pricing? Here it comes again via these "black" boxes. Finally before they message can the nanny-state, nappy wearing, coochy-coo voiced "speed kills" (because I mentioned ave speed infringements) "mummies" shove their input somewhere else. This is not a thread about the lunatics who feel 50mph is safe when passing schools or who have to pass me because my car has a high speed spec. I own a new car capable of over 140 mph, yet I drive safely and sensibly, sticking (mostly) to the same road speed as other people, unless I determine that conditions warrant my going even slower in which case I do. This thread is about the ever encroaching state of control over everything we do, usually sold to us on an "It's good for you" sales platter. | |||
"What I'd hoped would be an entertaining discussion seem to have descended into paranoiac rambling, so I shall take my leave instead of saying what’s really on my mind….. " Thats just what they want you to do! | |||
"Whats really scary is whats coming next. (Dunno when). Few months ago I seen a google representative talking about technology they are working on, a bar code tatto on the wrist (the owner can have any cool design they want), this bar code tattoo will open electronic doors of things you own car, house for example. will have all your personal information on it... you will use it instead of a bank card to pay for things. Its quite scary and yet she seemed so enthusiastic about it saying its like having super powers. Here is the link. RFID Tattoo and the Authorization Super Pill: http://youtu.be/axIVSJsW6W0 " just think if I can get the bar code for a rich bugger tattood on my wrist I would be made for life, or have several sleeves of different bar codes of rich people. Yes I know it is illegal. In theory yes it is a good idea about these bar codes, but it wont catch on. | |||
"People might change their 'Doesn't bother me nothing to hide attitude' when they recieve their insurance renewal after having a tracker fitted for a year...."Yes Mr Smith we noticed you regularly drive in excess of national speed limits. That's just doubled your renewal etc.......". These boxes won't be compulsory but try getting insured without one........there's demons in them woods I swear!!!!! " So will sensible drivers get cheaper insurance ? I'm all for that | |||

"To the Polks: don't get me wrong I'm not picking on you per se...but I can't work out if you're being naive or just provoking argument. From previous posts you've already let slip that the Mail and Express fall somewhere in your sphere of reading. If I have that wrong then I apologise, but no matter what their shortcomings, the readers of those two papers used to be the kind of folk who stood up for personal freedom and were anti interference by the state. Yes, they may have wanted all sorts of things banned, people horse-whipped etc, but when it came to the crunch they'd be prepared to die for the British version of a free people. You wonder what "they" will do with the information? How about silencing whistle-blowers? How much press space was given to the alleged crimes of Assange once he published Snowden's whistleblowing? If they've no use for the information why was (and still is) there such a huge operation going on between the US, Britain, Australia, New Zealand etc to gather such huge troves of email, phone messages etc etc? Just some kind of job creation exercise? The sad fact is that the general public have only glimpsed the tip of the ice-berg in a few newspaper headlines, the reality of the computing power and information gathering network out there is far, far greater than most people think and it's getting bigger. Who has oversight of it and whether or not it is infringing your freedoms? I trust you both work in some kind of very lowly job, where neither you nor the company gives a shit about what people know about you or how you behave judged against society's current "norms". If you don't fit into that description then heed this: this is just one example of what they could do to you if you became a "person of interest" and they "found" porn on your computer. I'm not naming names because there's an on-going legal case for compensation but it went something like this: Mr A, who worked in a very visible job in the local community had an organisation supplied laptop. Said laptop was called in for an upgrade. The IT people (who are nosey buggers (I know I used to be one) and like showing off their forensic skills) ran a scan (as required by their manager) on the old drive and found deleted, but recoverable porn (quite hard-core so the allegations went) images. As many of the images involved people who were allegedly over 18, but only just, the manager went ballistic (for starters the company contract _xpressly forbade the use of the machine for anything other than organisation work) and after an internal investigation, involving the suspension of Mr A, the manager decided to hand over the problem to the local police, just in case. Now Mr A's suspension from his post could hardly go unnoticed and once the matter reached the local police then the "smut/mud" began to leak to the local press who had a field day. To cut to the chase Mr A wasn't actually guilty, but in the months that followed, until he could clear his name he actually came close to suicide. There but for the grace of God go you or I. Consider these last two persons quotes and ask who was the defender of freedom?: “They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, [1759] “The American people must be willing to give up a degree of personal privacy in exchange for safety and security.” Louis Freeh, FBI Director, [1994] “Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law,’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.” Thomas Jefferson ." Thanks for taking such an interest in our posts but you can't be more wrong if you tried. I have no idea which posts point me out as a newspaper reader let alone the ones you've mentioned. As for lowly jobs, I don't really know what to make of that comment so won't retort. And Mr A deserved a suspension as he knew the consequences of using a company laptop for accessing certain sites. Paranoid people used to amuse me but now I'm a little worried about the close attention you're paying us. | |||
