4 2m Cameras Watch Us So Is Big Brother Already Here (from The Herald ): Feb 7, 3:32am 1 review

Innocently walking down a street in Glasgow, Cardiff or London will mean a person's face is picked up by one or several of the UK's 4.2 million CCTV cameras. It is estimated that, on a normal day, someone's image will be captured more than 300 times.

Then, there are all the speed cameras on the roads, the proposed expansion of the DNA database, and the planned introduction of biometric ID cards.

A few years ago, Richard Thomas, UK Information Commissioner, warned that Britain could "sleepwalk into a surveillance society".

Yesterday, Nick Clegg, Westminster's champion of liberal democracy, announced we were already there. He angrily challenged Gordon Brown for creating a "surveillance state" and making the UK the "most spied upon on the planet".

He referred to 1000 surveillance requests a day, one million "innocent people" on the government's DNA database and the "scandalous" fingerprinting of pupils in some 5000 schools."
