NEWS: 'Asbo TV': Your Neighbors May Be Watching You

Usually an anti-social behaviour is crminial behaviour, a criminal has an anti-social personality, sociopathy, and the like, not people who 'don't fit the "normal mode". They are probably talking about that sort of thing.

Nygdan,

Absolutley correct, as in other threads I've stated that I think there is a misunderstanding about the term "Anti-Social Behaviour" in realtion to crime. In the UK it refers to habitual offenders.

Anybody else see a trend here?

One more step to total network observation and 'spy' tech on all of us...

And I guess it will be you that decides exactly what constitutes "anti-social behavior"? Or will it be a faceless bureaucracy in some old gray building that makes the decisions on who to prosecute (persecute?)? And maybe you haven't thought this through far enough to consider if one of them thinks that you might be a problem.

See the problem with this whole idea yet?

Hello Friends:

I just want to say there is cctv in several U.S. cities, but I
think you can not wach from your tv yet. I do know(Hakers) people that
can break into the some cctv systems using the internet are watching.
I know for a fact that in down town Orlando, Florida there are cameras
in streets lamp posts in several street corners and on I-4 and I-95.

Having had to live with problem people and knowing how much it affects people I know, along witrh the general fear if being in public, I think this is excellent and I give it my whole hearted support. That'll teach the little ... gits... that love to ruin everyone elses lives.
If people don't like things like this then they should spend less time complaining about it and more time bringing up the problem generations that warrant it.

in any regard, wasn't the setting for Orwell's 1984 London? then this falls in line with the league of jr. spies and the thought police.
that book is finally a reality.

uhm, i think you mean implanted in our heads. 200 million people worldwide already do, including myself, and i did not volunteer. they somehow mysterously appeared there.

Civil rights campaigners have voiced concern about a new channel allowing households in east London to monitor local CCTV cameras, dubbed "Asbo TV".

ok why is it only availible in East London?.... talk about big brother watching....or is it big grampa or gramma....

Is east London Better than North, West, or South?

That is not anything that is not unknown in the US. It has been in the press for ages and they are adding new cameras all over the place in virtually every major city in the US, and the police are not hiding the fact either. In several cases they have issued press releases stating which high crime areas would be covered. Most people that live in those areas actually are in favor of them, since they lower the crime rate. You see once they (meaning the criminals) know they are on camera they tend to shy away knowing the might get caught.

I am not sure if they can be hacked, but I know you can simply go to the DOT here and each and every freeway cam can be accessed, but I am not sure on the others in high crime areas or downtown. One or two TV stations also have some cameras and I like them myself and think there should be more, but then I have no intention of committing any crime

A neighbourhood watch program on steroids. This will probably do some real good as an anti-crime tool, but it will certainly provide a means for the gossips to ply their craft.

My husband calls me "Antisocial" when I don't want to be around other people.

I guess I am a criminal, Right.

What is wrong with been a "Hermit" or a "loner"

Or wanting to get away from the crazy society and live in the trees or the woods and survive on nature.

It's that criminal? because by social standards is "anti social"

But is a "choice" and if I made the choice to stay away from the rest of the population I am a "mental case"?

I hope that this is just for people known to be mentally ill and criminal inclined.

Read the bloody thread again. It contains a perfectly reasonable definition in UK terms regarding "anti social behaviour". It DOES NOT refer to a persons stance on how they behave in social circles.

Read my bloody post, specially the last sentence in bold black.

Here you go, straight from a FAQ page on the subject thanks to the Devon County council website;

What is anti-social behaviour?
The definition of anti-social behaviour under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 is that it is 'behaviour likely to cause alarm, harassment or distress to members of the public not of the same household as the perpetrator'.

Depending on the circumstances, many kinds of behaviour can be called anti-social

The main examples include:

Criminal damage/vandalism
Threatening behaviour
Harassment
Abandoned vehicles
Neighbour problems
Noise
Dogs fouling
Fly tipping

Nothing sinister at all there, and you've got to have a pretty good imagination to come up with something vaguely sinister to fit the above definition.

In UK courts, when mental heath is a factor, diminished responsibility is taken on board during the procedings.

Edit: Apologies for snapping at you marg6043, but this thread is kinda frustrating for me. Once again, my apologies.

Remember this is a conspiracy side and is nice to add a conspiracy angle to it.
