Brit car video surveillance out of control

DAILY MAIL (London) June 11, 2001 LENGTH: 705 words A SPEED CAMERA ON EVERY CORNER DAILY MAIL (London) June 12, 2001 POLICE WILL ISSUE UP TO TEN MILLION TICKETS A YEAR IN A MASSIVE CLAMPDOWN ON SPEEDING MOTORISTS. WITH THE NUMBER OF SPEED CAMERAS EXPECTED TO TREBLE, THERE WILL be no escape from the prying electronic eyes. For the police, it will mean a gold-mine in fines thanks to the decision to allow forces to keep money raised from fixed penalties. Until now, many of the 4,300 cameras across the country have been ineffective because police cannot afford to stock or process the film. But the potential to raise revenue has given them a powerful incentive to extend and improve the network. This means any driver 'flashed' by a camera will now almost certainly face a fine. The speeding clampdown comes as the latest crime figures show a year-on-year rise of 2.5 per cent in violent offences including murder, rape and muggings. Yesterday, motoring groups claimed the blitz would undermine public confidence in police priorities. As well as alienating drivers already burdened by high fuel taxes and rising crime, more cameras would never be as effective as patrol cars in preventing truly dangerous driving, they said. Police, however, are delighted with the prospect of more cameras on the roads. Some areas involved in trial schemes have seen 25-fold increases in the number of tickets issued to drivers. If these results are reflected across the country, the number of penalties issued via roadside cameras could soar from 550,000 in 1999 to more than ten million. North Wales chief constable Richard Brun-strom, who leads the Association of Chief Police Officers' traffic technology committee is keen to see more cameras on the roads. 'Speed cameras make a major contribution to road safety and this legislation means motorists can expect to see at least a tripling in the numbers on Britain's roads,' he said. Under new Home Office rules, money raised by fines will no longer go straight to the Treasury. Instead, police will be allowed to keep fixed penalty revenue above a 'baseline' figure. Almost all the 43 forces in England and Wales are submitting business plans to the Government to show how they will use the extra money. The standard penalty increased last year from GBP 40 to GBP 60, and m Edmund King of the RAC Foundation said: 'The danger is that speed cameras actually lead to our roads being under-policed. 'With an over-reliance on speed cameras, forces have been cutting back on traffic police. 'In some areas there is little or no chance of being stopped for dangerous or careless driving, which is often more dangerous than speeding. 'Only around a third of accidents are blamed on speed. 'Cameras don't pick up on drivers tailgating the car in front, or swerving between lanes. 'Home Office research revealed a 60 per cent chance of dangerous drivers having committed other criminal offences. 'Those stopped may have burgled goods in the car, for example. Cameras won't clear up any of those other crimes. 'We are already seeing cameras being extended beyond accident blackspots to straight stretches of rural road in places like Oxfordshire. 'If that trend continues there is the danger we will see speed cameras on every bend in every trunk road. 'We don't believe that is something motorists want to see, and nor do we.' Yesterday, Home Secretary David Blunkett signalled his determination not to let the new financial rules distract police from their core purpose of fighting crime. A source close to Mr Blunkett said: 'Road safety is important, but we don't want to see manpower diverted to running speed cameras. 'The cameras are a valuable tool but we have to strike a balance.'

Well, Kaiser is not a government agency, and is certainly not associated with the Social Security Adminisrtation in any way, so they have no legitimate need for my SSN, and I don't want to give it to them. I'm wondering how best to go about doing this: 1. I could make up an SSN and give it to them. I basically just have to make sure it's one that hasn't been taken, and corresponds to my real birth county, right? ================================ Try this instead.... 1. Get copies of the forms they wish you to sign. 2. Re-image and delete any wording which "certifies under perjury" that the information is correct. Add or change the revision numbering sequence info, so later you can counter claims it was a fraudulent submission ("Hey, check the revision number, its not your form you accepted but mine.)

I am an American citizen. In 30 years I have never given a valid social security number to anyone. I can't. I don't have one. I hold a regular high-paying job. I get a paycheck. My employer uses ADP. I have a driver's license. I have a bank account. I have good health insurance. I pay my taxes. Not once have I had a real problem. Any minor problems that have come up over the years, and there have been very few, always go away when ignored dilligently. Just give those facists a fake number. Good luck. Signed, 322-33-0007
