   Via [1]Glenn, an interesting, somewhat frightening [2]proposal to
   mimic Britain's system of government cameras.
   I would argue we could greatly benefit from cameras, but not the kind
   Britain has. We need individuals with cameras â to watch the police as
   well as criminals.
   Just imagine what will happen when data storage and camera tech is
   cheap enough that itâs trivial to walk around carrying a continuously
   updated video recording of the last hour or day youâve experienced,
   perhaps even with a copy held remotely for security so it can't be
   seized by the offendor. With face recognition and biometric
   technology, non-consensual crime could become much more difficult.
