It does not deter the wealthy drivers of silver Mercedes cars from parking illegally and paying the penalty charge. What is £60 to them for the luxury of parking outside their favourite shop? If the deterant was points on ones license or jail time, then the deterant would work. But as it's really all bout squeezing money from the poor and middle classes who may not always find public transport convenient or pleasurable (have you taken a bus or tube on a hot day in London, packed with hot sweaty people?), things will never change and we will blindly continue to walk into a total privacy-less existence. Oh wait, we're there already! Help!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Wonderkid]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 12th 2007 5:46AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Networked cameras to seek out parking violators]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/networked-cameras-to-seek-out-parking-violators/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/networked-cameras-to-seek-out-parking-violators/</guid><description><![CDATA[No war but the class war, eh?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mat]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 13th 2007 8:21AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Networked cameras to seek out parking violators]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/networked-cameras-to-seek-out-parking-violators/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/networked-cameras-to-seek-out-parking-violators/</guid><description><![CDATA[Oh dear]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lawrence]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 12th 2007 6:27AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Networked cameras to seek out parking violators]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/networked-cameras-to-seek-out-parking-violators/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/networked-cameras-to-seek-out-parking-violators/</guid><description><![CDATA[Britain is now officially a police state!<br><br>George Orwell's 1984 and the Hollywood movie "V for Vendetta" are no longer just works of fiction.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[poorlilkid]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 12th 2007 11:21AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Networked cameras to seek out parking violators]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/networked-cameras-to-seek-out-parking-violators/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/networked-cameras-to-seek-out-parking-violators/</guid><description><![CDATA[I do believe the UK is a model for the future of civilisation, we are just OK'ing everything if it shows the slightest advantage regardless of the social/moral/philosophical consequences.<br>And every step is cheered on by the 'If you haven't done anything wrong' brigade.<br>Allready in this country I have recieved fines for failing to tell the government I 'm not breaking the law.<br>As in recieving a fine for not telling them I haven't used my motorbike on the road and that equals assumed guilt and an automatic computer produced fine in the post.<br>OK it's petty stuff, but you know they are saying 'well this works great, let's apply it to absofrukinlutly everything else'<br>It amazes me that the great British public have become so used to being f*ckd over/spyed on/electronically monitored that they don't raise a whimper about this fundamental change in the relationship between government and citizen.<br>They have just simply invented a law that requires you prove you aren't breaking the law and everyone rolls over dead simply because it 'gets tax cheats'.<br>No wonder the UK is seeing the largest emigration in it's 1000 year history.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[CB]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 12th 2007 6:25AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Networked cameras to seek out parking violators]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/networked-cameras-to-seek-out-parking-violators/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/networked-cameras-to-seek-out-parking-violators/</guid><description><![CDATA[London already has something similar that's been around for a while.  They have a "congestion charge" (of about £8, I think) to drive into the centre of the city, to try to cut down on inner-city traffic.  If you don't pay the charge at a official outlet, cameras automatically detect your car registration upon entering the "congestion zone" and check it against the database of purchased permits for that day.  If you haven't coughed up, you get an automatic fine.

As a resident, I can get a parking permit (although we don't own a car: who needs to, public transport and massively available black cabs are far more useful and economic) and there are stacks of resident parking spaces. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mg]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 12th 2007 6:41AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Networked cameras to seek out parking violators]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/networked-cameras-to-seek-out-parking-violators/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/networked-cameras-to-seek-out-parking-violators/</guid><description><![CDATA[CB, if you looked at the actual statistics rather than the daily mail headlines you may realise that the large scale emmigration you mention is predominantly eastern europeans returning home after working here for a couple of years. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[olliem]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 12th 2007 6:45AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Networked cameras to seek out parking violators]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/networked-cameras-to-seek-out-parking-violators/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/networked-cameras-to-seek-out-parking-violators/</guid><description><![CDATA[No it don't read the Mail, and I 'm still talking about 'classic' Britons.<br>OK many are an older population retiring to the sun, but this increasing electronic intrusion into our lives, and it will get much, much worse is hardly going to endear people to the place.<br>Everything you can think of will happen, as sensors get smaller and databases get bigger.<br>When I was younger people use to rant 'I'm a name not a number!'

But setting everything to the Private sector i s really bad idea...<br><br>Everything thats been privatised in this country has been abused, ripped off and the service has got worse. The railnetwork the london transport the engery companys... <br><br>If you privatise it you bring in the fat cats to riup of fthe beneral public... <br><br>So no Privatisation isnt the awnser...<br><br>The fact Traffic wardarns are privatised is part of the overbearing problem. The reason we hate them in the first place is they are little nazi warderns roaming the streets... If they see a cars Ticket is going to go out in 15 minutes they would stand there by the car waiting for it to go out... They even start righting the ticket before the parking slip actualy runs out....<br><br>I've had a car get a ticket when the parking slip was still valid, And i actualy drove off before the slip ran out... Yet when i tryed to contest the parking fine they didnt let me off...<br><br>So no privatising the warderns and sub contracting the system isnt the right thing to do.<br><br>As for this.... Its scary how much this country is turning into a totalitarism dictatorship... Voted in by the great british public. :/ ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[simon.nutsy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 12th 2007 7:35AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Networked cameras to seek out parking violators]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/networked-cameras-to-seek-out-parking-violators/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/networked-cameras-to-seek-out-parking-violators/</guid><description><![CDATA[what is this language you're ranting in, simon? certainly no english!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[paakofi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 12th 2007 10:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Networked cameras to seek out parking violators]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/networked-cameras-to-seek-out-parking-violators/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/12/networked-cameras-to-seek-out-parking-violators/</guid><description><![CDATA[More Fuzz coming off the streets and into what I'd like to refer to as 'the voyeur suite'.
