It is no stretch of the imagination to realise that these satellites are constantly taking pictures and logging them in huge database archives.
The impact of this should not be underestimated. It means whatever you do, wherever you go, you ARE being filmed and watched. It needs to be understood that these cameras can focus down to and identify objects as small as coins.
Nothing we do anymore can be a secret. Everything is bagged and tagged and catalogued.
Hi
Would that be true, but unfortunately those who control the high end stuff won't even admit they have it, much less tell you if they had any assets in place at a given place and time.
they certainly won't release anything unless it suits them.
The Military of certain countries still haven't released the info that they have on the lost plane, MH375.
The Thai Air Force even denied their radar was working at the time.
Politics, don't admit you are spying on your neighbours.
CCTV?
Well, following the cuts, loads of it has been turned off, there are no national standards, some of the private stuff is of very poor quality and useless really.
So, if Mrs Smith of 8 Acacia Avenue gets her TV nicked, no one will be looking at tapes to catch the thieves.
On the other hand, every text, phone call, internet log on is recorded, analysed and if worthy of interest, stored.
The biggest source of information is strangely enough, loyalty cards, Tesco's know more about you than the Government.
