It's 2009. The average UK citizen is caught on CCTV around 300 times a day. And those fortunate

enough to live in london have their journey and travel information stored for an unspecified amount

of time. The current government has proposed a bill for a government database to include the calls

we've made, the websites we've visited, and the emails we've sent, entitled the communications data

bill. And the European union requires its member states to store all telecommunications data for 6-

24 months. Too many, this signifies a dark future for Britain, but for others it simply signifies we

live under a government which devotes time and effort to protect us, prevent crime, and make

Britain a safer place.
