[Nettime-bold] Canada upholds civil liberties

["Lachlan Brown" <lachlan@london.com>]

Canada's privacy commissioner George Radwanski ruled yesterday
 that police have no legal right to conduct random video surveillance 
of citizens in public places - even to fight terrorism.

"Police forces cannot invoke crime prevention or deterence
to justify monitoring and recording the activities of large numbers
of the general public."

Perhaps Britain, a surveillance society, ought to adopt similar legislation?
