Campaign website against CCTV on Cowley Road

No CCTV on Cowley Road | 23.10.2007 22:26 | Free Spaces | Technology | Oxford

A campaigning website against the proposed CCTV scheme for the Cowley Road has been set up at  http://www.no-cctv.org.uk

Oxford police chief Supt Brendan O'Dowda wants to install CCTV along the Cowley Road at a cost of £150,000. He has made it his personal crusade to get cameras installed. He has been joined in his quest by Andrew Smith MP and the Oxford University students' union.

A website at  http://www.no-cctv.org.uk has been set up to counter their campaign.

Britain is the most spied upon nation in the world, yet we don't have the lowest crime rate. CCTV simply does not work and it is a waste of money. It goes against Britain's common law value of 'innocent until proven guilty' and with more sophisticated technology and the forthcoming National Identity Register it is simply another tool to intrude on the lives of law abiding citizens and track us all.

Join our campaign and stop CCTV on the Cowley Road

..university crew never ever even visit.

Yes I would think that you need to sab those policespy cameras - I mean if the people are incapable of taking direct action in this matter in Oxford then we may as well shut up the shop and begin the police sponsered kiddy porn masturbation program right now.

R! the Cowley Road

If they go up, just put paint over the lens. If they are too high to reach create a device that will allow you to do the job.

Think creatively and put the streets back into the hands of the public and not the State.

this may be of no relavence but.... if you fill up a kitchen cleaner pump sqeeze gun thingy with slightly dilluted paint , it still finds the paint too thick and such an effort to push out, that instead of the usual mist, it shoots out a jet that can accuratly hit a target about 15 feet away!
wot fun u can have with yor mates at a party!!
