An anonymous reader writes to tell us that it seems the UK is trying make
up for their judicious use of surveillance cameras that, according to
recent research, do [0]not actually deter crime, by using the
surveillance network to [1]prosecute petty crimes. “Conjuring up the
bogeymen of terrorists, online pedophiles and cybercriminals, the U.K.

carrying out of surveillance, and the use of covert human intelligence
sources” to help prevent crime, including terrorism. Recent reports in
the U.K. media indicate that the laws are being used for everything but
terrorism investigations.”
