Central Control of The Voters

So our beloved leaders are implementing the next phase of Project CCTV. Having installed a natonal  network of cameras they now want to install speakers on them so they can "deter anti-social behaviour". what is anti-social behaviour?
  • urinating in shop doorways
  • spitting
  • using mobile phones
  • careless walking
  • putting hands in pockets
  • wearing stripped clothing on a spots day
Who decides?( I so want that job)

In the near future they can connect the cameras to  face recognition software (which already exists).  Once the infrastructure to enforce curfews / track particular known "trouble makers" is in place it would be irresponsible not to use it. If you've done nothing wrong you have nothing to worry about. Its only criminals* that will suffer.
How much longer until we hear "for public safety a ban on all public gatherings, for a brief period of time, is regretable but  necessary" after some unpopular legislation.

Of course all this takes a lot of resources. How can the rulers afford it? I know, let the proletariats pay for their own prison. Brillant!
You might think even plebs aren't stupid enough to do that. Just tell them its to stop littering (or any other trival event that plebs care about) and they
will be begging to be controlled.

This country started going down hill when universal suffrage was introduced. The sooner we go back to having an elite ruling class the better for everyone!?

*criminal = person who has broken ruling class rules, not society rules.

For those of you unaware, legisalation for an annual "Spots Day" was introduced in pretty small writing at the end of the 2006 Antisocial Behaviour and Stuff Bill. On an as yet unspecified date government agents will identify anyone with an unregistered spot or pimple on their face and strip them and thoroughly disinfect them. Thus the need for the ban on wearing contaminated "stripped" clothes.
