Surveillance Everywhere

Found a couple of articles out there about surveillance which might interest you guys. The first 2 are from last year but still relate to what we're doing. The first is about the police in the UK using unmanned drones to tackle gang crime and smuggling, and the ethical questions it raises. You can check it out here:

The second is about a proposed introduction in 2013 of in-car surveillance equipment as a "safety" measure. Agains it's a UK article but relevant to us too given that its an EU thing. Check that article out here:

The last one I found was about the drama Anya was talking about last Thursday. Channel 4 are going to show a drama about the hypothetical kidnapping of prince harry by the taliban this thursday so it could be worth a look. The article makes some good points about what makes entertainment, and the merits of a gritty drama. Check this article out here:
