Will the real Big Brother please stand up?
Nowhere is sacred.
Saw this on the outer wall of Te Papa, New Zealand's national museum whilst on a little walk on Sunday. If anything I'd say that New Zealand is possibly one of the least paranoid, most liberal and laid back places I've ever been. There's no issues with terrorism, or blind panic. There's a largely successful blend of cultural diversity, it's all just a bit 'mellow' you know after being in the UK. It's fantastic.
After someone I knew being in the airport at the time of the terrorist attack on Glasgow airport, seeing the photo that made national news about it, directly from the memory card at the place I was working in at the time, coming to a country where you don't go through security to get on a flight unless it's a plane leaving the country is kinda strange. Yet despite all this, nowhere is without these things.
CCTV, scourge or not? Helpful I'd imagine when your car gets nicked from the supermarket carpark or when you get a kicking outside a pub, invasive into everyday society at other times maybe? Trouble is, you never know quite what the footage ends up being used for do you? ;-)
