The worrying thing is, who will get access to this technology? Merseyside police are already
employing two of the devices as part of a pilot scheme to watch football crowds and city parks
looking for antisocial behavior. It is not just about crime detection: West Midlands fire brigade is
about to lease a drone, for example, to get a better view of fire and flood scenes and aid rescue
attempts; the Environment Agency is considering their use for monitoring of illegal fly tipping and
oil spills. The company that makes the drone says it has no plans to License the equipment to
individuals or private companies, which hopefully will prevent private security firms from getting
their hands on them. But what about local authorities? In theory, this technology could be used
against motorists. And where will the surveillance society end? Already there are plans to introduce
'smart water' containing a unique DNA code identifier that when sprayed on a suspect will cling to
their clothes and skin and allow officers to identify them later. As long as high-tech tools are being
used in the fight against crime and terrorism, fine. But if it's another weapon to be used to invade
our privacy then we don't want it
.Consider the information mentioned in the last paragraph regarding “smart water”.
What does this say about people learning from their mistakes or for possible reform? (
