Big Brother Cab: Taxi CCTV to spy on passengers (Video and Sound Recorded, Databased)



Your every move and word could be recorded and used against you - human rights activists in Britain fight an increasing number of surveillance cameras - they're now to be installed in every taxi in the city of Oxford. Authorities in the British city plan to install an audio and video surveillance system in every cab by 2015. Campaigners have called the city council's decision a staggering invasion of privacy and claim people's rights will be violated. However authorities insist that the risk of intrusion is acceptable compared to the public safety benefits.
