The truth outs: CCTV doesn't cut crime

A [UK] Home Office report confirms that the vast spending on CCTV systems is almost certainly unjustified

 By Henry Porter

At last we appear to be nearing the truth about the effectiveness of CCTV. After senior police officers suggested, a few years back, that CCTV had no substantial impact on crime, a research group funded by the Home Office has established that vast spending on systems is almost certainly unjustified.

As Alan Travis reports, the review of 44 research studies on CCTV found that they do have a modest impact on crime overall, but CCTV cameras are at their most effective in cutting vehicle crime in car parks, especially when used alongside improved lighting and the introduction of security guards.

So, there are some benefits, as most acknowledged, but the idea that CCTV has any special power to reduce crime generally is clearly flawed. Travis notes that the investigation by a group including Cambridge criminologist David Farrington was cited by the Home Office in their response to an important report from the House of Lords constitution committee that suggested the spread of CCTV undermined fundamental rights guaranteed by the Human Rights Act.

It is now becoming clear that the £500m spent by local councils on the CCTV in the decade up to 2006 has been on surveillance of the innocent public rather than crime prevention. As I pointed out last week, it may not be long before these cameras can be connected and upgraded with facial recognition technology.

What we need now is a new national surveillance commission, where spending of public money on CCTV is weighed against the loss of privacy and the threat to the public from likely technological developments. It would cost a fraction of the money being wasted on elaborate systems and in the end save a great deal.

 

 

Nine sacked for breaching core ID card database

 

The government must be quietly grateful to the distractions of August. Only Computer Weekly noticed that nine local authority workers have been sacked for accessing the personal records of celebrities, and their acquaintances held on the core database of the government's ID scheme.

This is a significant story because government ministers have always dismissed campaigners' claims that once all personal information is stored in a single database it will become vulnerable to abuse by those with access to the system. Ministers have repeatedly insisted that security will be absolute and that severe penalties will deter anyone tempted to read files illegally.

Not true. The magazine's website reported that the nine fired were among 34 people who illegally accessed information. Some were reprimanded, some resigned and some were sacked but none was prosecuted. Using a freedom of information request, Computer Weekly found that Cardiff and Glasgow Councils sacked people who had looked up celebrities in the customer information system (CIS) which is run by the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) and contains 90 million records. Various other councils sacked people for looking up their friends, their own details and in one instance, a girlfriend's.

The really important point is that these cases come from sample checks, this raises the prospect that the security of CIS is in fact much more regularly breached. "Over 200,000 government officials have access to the database," says the website, "including 480 local authorities, and numerous government departments, including the Department of Work and Pensions, HM Revenue & Customs, and the Courts Service. The Child Support Agency uses the CIS to trace missing parents."

A DWP spokesman suggested that the small number of breaches recorded indicated that unauthorised access by officials was spotted quickly. He did not, of course, acknowledge that these cases came from sample checks generated by the system.

This is absolutely critical. For years Professor Ross Anderson of Cambridge university and NO2ID have been arguing that by their nature large databases will never be free of such abuse. Anderson's Rule means you cannot construct a database with scale, functionality and security because if you design a large system for ease of access it becomes insecure, while if you make it watertight it becomes impossible to use.

And yet government presses ahead with the grand scheme of linking database together and allowing access to hundreds of thousands of officials. A note on security contained in a DWP Information bulletin, unearthed by NO2ID, hints at the possible problem when it mentions access to tax data from Her Majesty's Revenue and Custom. "DWP and HMRC customer information is shared with local authorities on the understanding that only authorised access is permitted." The document goes on to admit that the sample checks have revealed serious security breaches and warns that anyone found abusing the system will face sanctions ranging from disciplinary action to prosecution. Investigators will plot "audit trails showing the full access history of those under suspicion," says the document rather unconvincingly This may catch may a few bored council workers who have trespassed in a friend's file but lets just imagine a more sophisticated attack involving one of those crime syndicates specialising in identity theft and about which we hear so much from ministers trying to scare us into accepting the ID card. It surely would be an irony if the aggregation of personal information in the United Kingdom were to make identity theft more, not less, likely.

The CIS system will be the foundation of the ID card scheme. It came into being in 2005 after Accenture and the Department of Work and Pensions completed a pilot. It is designed to provide an overview of personal details of anyone who has a national insurance number. It includes the deceased, their beneficiaries and details of ethnic background. In other words, the customer information service, which incidentally has a friendly supermarket ring about it, presents a hugely attractive target for organized crime and maybe a lot of other bad hats too – foreign intelligence services, for example.

Back in 2005 Computer Weekly suggested that CIS was "good news" because "its relatively simple design looks like achieving success." Today it is clear that this is the problem – it is too user friendly to be secure, which is extremely worrying given we are only at the start of this process of merging databases.

Anyway, I leave you with that cheerful thought as I go on my holiday. I shall be away for a couple of weeks or so and unlike Tomasky will not have a computer or Blackberry with me.

Who Watches the Watchers? Is freedom the price of eternal vigilance?

Who Watches the Watchers?

Is freedom the price of eternal vigilance?

We all know how it is. We’ve been coerced into surrendering our hard won liberties in the falsified name of security, and have lost both freedom and safety as a result. We live beneath an umbrella that doesn’t offer us protection, but spans the skies like an omnipresent deity with ten thousand eyes. Gizmos observe everything we do, hear all that we say and record everything we read or write; far-flung sensory apparatuses of the world’s intelligence agencies, scanning the zeitgeist for a little more leverage.

The plane is faster than the eye. Two or three buildings fall down and televised pundits, shock jocks and paper tigers cajole and inflame us to loudly bleat like little lost sheep - and whole populations cry out to be rounded up and locked behind safe walls and fences patrolled by homeland nazis with corporate ties. Regrettable and shocking it may be, but surely the deaths of less than three thousand people can hardly be grounds for incarcerating all the peoples of the world in a system of total oversight and unprecedented surveillance.

Whether you believe the impossible conspiracy theory of Osama Bin Laden’s hijacking teams or the conspiracy facts of the Patriot Act and the ongoing oil and opium wars, the extraordinary scam appears to have worked perfectly. What a bunch of dumbed down bozos we’ve become, to fall for such a ruse!

Welcome to the brave new world of tomorrow today, a dystopian future where the walls have ears, the ceilings have eyes and human bodies have implanted transponder chips. Literally anyone can be watching, listening and recording your every move (even me!), and technologies designed for sieving your thoughts are coming to a city near you soon. In the outmoded worldview of warrior patriots who can’t let go of the superannuated dreams of their youth, freedom is the price of eternal vigilance.

We’ve created a computerised system that can note the Byzantine passage of every single dollar and record the fall of each little sparrow, but have abysmally failed to put any safeguards in place to control a system that essentially robs us of all our freedoms.

In the insecure straightjacket of distrust we’ve allowed ourselves to be sewn into, the fears of paranoiacs are based on solid fact and schizophrenics have good reason to believe they’re being watched, or even hearing voices.  The most paranoid warmongers of all have grabbed the keys to the asylum. While we were all distracted by the latest ball game or gewgaw, dynastically minded control freaks have been putting the icing on a caked concrete prison which we’ve all blindly or blithely built at their behest.

The governors of our planetary jail have convinced us we’re all guilty until proven otherwise. We’re free to shut up and toe the line. We have the right to be searched at will, and our homes and workplaces can be bugged without our knowledge. Our DNA can be taken and stored if we’re suspected of having committed a crime. We have the right to be locked up for as long as deemed necessary, without the right to a phone call or legal representation. We have the right to have summary justice dispensed to us by faceless bureaucrats, nameless soldiers and gormless politicians.

We have the right to a free trip to the torture chambers and execution squads of a dozen tame dictatorships. We have the right to be tortured, maimed or accidentally killed while in custody. We have the right to delude ourselves into believing that we still live in free countries and liberal nations.

 

Ever since the dawn of the new millennium, the ‘free world’ has been rapidly descending into a loathsome quagmire of bad intentions and evil acts; of wilful distrust and misplaced retribution. When half a century of global nuclear madness ended with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the free people of the world believed that nothing could stand in the way of ongoing openness and liberty. In the new era of planetary progress anything was possible and the future beckoned like a shining beacon. It didn’t take long to turn all that around, to shift hopes into fears and turn us into them. All it took was a little sleight of hand, and the profiteers of doom and destruction are laughing all the way to the bank again.

We all know where we stand. The world has become indebted for generations to pay for murderous slaughters masquerading as wars, which will provide a tiny few with endless profits. The climate is a catastrophe, the excrement is about to hit the global air conditioner, an iceberg is looming and there aren’t enough lifeboats to go around. But there is a bright side for those who know the tides of time and we need to get ready for the next wave. A tide of freedom will return just as swiftly as it departed and if we do a little paddling it can carry us far away from the blind tunnels of industrious police states, to far greener and cleaner horizons.

Once upon a time, devices that observed you without your knowledge were rare. They were loathed and derided as spies and bugs; now they’re so familiar and versatile that filmmakers use fixed security cameras to record video projects and people use mobile phones to track down their spouses without their knowledge. We’re constantly assured that the cameras and microphones are there for our protection; that’s how protection rackets work. In this bright new millennium where anything, even peace, is actually finally possible, what is ‘national security’ – other than a series of large scale protection rackets?

Governments have always longed to watch every move made by ‘their’ citizens, and now the means of total surveillance are sitting in almost everyone’s pocket or handbag. People even pay for their expensive combination portable bugs and radio frequency locators themselves, and assiduously keep the batteries charged at their own expense. The spy agencies have their hands full with moneymaking projects; commercial spying is now the everyday province of national intelligence agencies, so the only real worry for most people is the fact that mobile phones are carcinogenic, and microwave the temporal lobes of their brains.

But that’s life as she is lived, in the wondrous modern feudal rat race of workaholic wage slaves known as the ‘developed world’. Total control begins with regimented industrialised schooling for most luckless people, and progresses through a lifetime of uniform conformity on a cog-grinding, mind numbing treadmill. Yet even without such repetitive entrainment and domestication, human primates have always been remarkable sociable.

It’s extraordinary how law-abiding human populations actually are, even when no-one’s watching; could it be that most human beings actually have an inbuilt moral sense and ethical foundation? Could it be we’re all born with open minds and loving hearts? Could it be that most people can actually be trusted? Can we be trusted to know what’s good for us? In democratic societies we the people ultimately decide what’s best for us, and we always get the governments – and oversight - we deserve.

It’s time for a fundamental change of direction. It’s time for a global peace, which is the only way we’ll do away with all need for draconian governance - and that can only come from a fair division of the spoils from the imperialist and racist wars of the past two centuries. Peace and true prosperity can only come with trust, and trust is never given freely; but the alternative is the same old boom and bust cyclic artifice of dynastic gangsters, who rub their hands with glee when economies crash and wars blossom forth, and rake the table clean of winnings.

Peace is the only path to paradise on Earth.

 

Perhaps privacy is becoming a bygone concept. Now that we’ve allowed ourselves to become part of a gigantic Big Brother experiment we currently have little choice in the matter – but we still don’t have to vote anyone off the island. The cameras are here to stay – for now – and many people simply seem to hope that they’ll look good onscreen, rather than consider the potential of such technologies in the hands of untrustworthy governments or murderous dictatorships. And yet the very fact of ongoing surveillance can be a lever that reopens the door to a truer freedom.

Surveillance is a two way street. If we the people must accustom ourselves to constant surveillance, then we can feel free to demand that our politicians, soldiers, corporate executives and bureaucrats do the same. If governments and employers claim the right to observe all the activities of workers and other citizens they must be willing to accept the same level of oversight.

We can only trust technologies of total control in a world where government secrecy has become a thing of the past. There’s no excuse for anything but complete openness in peacetime (and one-sided battles against nebulous concepts like ‘terrorism’ or concocted illegal occupations don’t constitute wartimes). Now that we’re all expected to live totally open lives, we must demand the same of the public servants that we all too often mistake for leaders dwelling on another plane of legal existence.

Let’s all put our cards on the table and let the chips fall where they will. Let’s break open the secret boxes that politicians believe have been sealed away for the next generation or three. Let’s find out what people who believe they’re above the law have been doing behind our backs, while their lackeys have been recording our bank account numbers and personal habits. Let’s hear all about the backroom deals and under-the-table shenanigans. Let’s read all about it on the world wide surveillance web. Let the voyeurs watch us watch them, if that’s what they want. But they’ll have to do their watching out in the open, without a cloak of secrecy to shield their intent.

Who watches the watchers? We do! The truth is already out there, buried in a haystack of a trillion pages. But how to tell where the truth lies, and to know which words are true? Even before that joyous day when the secrets of the world are hacked into being and displayed before our astounded eyes, we already have an inbuilt dowsing facility - if we only choose to pay attention to our inner sense. We all know the truth if we listen to our hearts. When we learn how to trust our inner signals we can all know whether someone is telling the truth or lying, or are simply mad or misled.

All it takes is dowsing practice and enough space to swing a pendulum. The tools are simple, and once we learn how to use them we can dispense with the physical trappings and recognise the ring of truth or the wrong note of falsehood in our very being. All it takes is a little concentration, a little meditation and a little private space. We all deserve private space; a small amount of privacy contains a whole lot of peace of mind.

To chart a true course one must first know how to recognise truth. To trust others, we must first learn to trust ourselves. The future is still written on water, regardless of the hopes, fears or prophecies we are subjected to, or create for ourselves. It’s all up to us – there is no them.

Freedom of Information - Free the Plan Net!

 P.S. – Hand-held laser pointers have been banned in many countries – ostensibly because they can ‘blind pilots’. None of the pilots I’ve spoken to believe this to be possible, and some have literally laughed at the notion; one said, ‘just you try using a hand-held laser to hit a rapidly moving target and hold it in place – and they don’t even dazzle your eyes if they hit for an instant.’

However – these recently banned lasers CAN easily burn out the optical sensors of surveillance cameras…

You will never be alone

Almost every move you make is being watched - and privacy is fast becoming obsolete, writes Gerard Wright. 

 

If Hollywood and its movies are America thinking aloud, then a very interesting thought bubble has just appeared over the map of the United States.

 The bubble appears, naturally, in the form of a film, Look, which opened in US cinemas this month. It weaves a range of stories with entwining themes of sex, blackmail, crime and alienation, with a twist: every scene of the film is shot from the perspective of a surveillance camera, from the bubble lens above an ATM, to the elevated perspective of the security cameras that are ubiquitous and sometimes invisible, across the US.

 

        As entertainment, the jury will return a verdict by the end of the year. As a statement of the American and world zeitgeist, Look is impeccable in its timing. 

       The US, like Australia and Britain, has taken fear as a guiding principle, and used it to introduce or justify wide-ranging security and surveillance programs as a means of preventing terrorist attacks such as those in New York and Washington on September 11, 2001, in Bali in October 2002, and London in July 2005.

        In the US the focus has been on preventing another attack, and protecting the "homeland". It was the justification for the invasion of Iraq, and for the process known as "data-mining" where tens of millions of phone call records are scoured, and billions of calls and emails are monitored.

       On a localised level, there is what Yvonne Cager, a video surveillance marketing manager at Texas Instruments, called the "drive to have more eyes everywhere". An IBM report last year estimated there were 26 million surveillance cameras in the US, while the iSuppli research company forecasts that international sales of surveillance systems will more than double to 66 million units by 2011. 

        One of these cameras caught Look's director, Adam Rifkin, singing along to a song in his car as he passed through an intersection, triggering a red light camera. The image Rifkin saw with the fine that arrived in the mail a week or so later was astonishingly sharp and unflattering.

       "I felt violated," he says, but also inspired. Rifkin began looking for surveillance cameras, and the laws that govern their use. The cameras were everywhere and saw everyone. By Rifkin's assessment, the average American could expect to be filmed 200 times a day. The laws governing that coverage were surprisingly lax.

        "In 37 states it's legal for hidden cameras to be in dressing rooms and bathrooms," Rifkin says. "I wanted to throw a bucket of cold water onto the public's obliviousness about these cameras."

        Other experts state the case even more baldly, among them Donald Kerr, the principal deputy director of US National Intelligence, who believes that privacy and anonymity can no longer be regarded as synonymous. 

       "Protecting anonymity isn't a fight that can be won," Kerr told an intelligence conference in Texas in October. "Anyone that's typed in their name on Google understands that."

        The premise of Look is to provide a public viewing through surveillance cameras of what is supposed to be nominally private. Britain is already dealing with the loss and potential exposure last month of what was supposed to be absolutely confidential - the private information, and in some cases, banking details, of 25 million Britons on two encrypted compact discs. The inability to protect this information - ironically, to keep it private - is now being used as the strongest argument against the country's long-proposed national identity card.

        But this was a problem with simple record-keeping. In the US, the issue of privacy cuts even deeper into everyday life: who is called or emailed, and what is said. In December 2005 The New York Times ran a front-page story exposing the warrantless wire-tapping operation authorised by the President, George Bush. Under the program, phone calls and emails to or from the US involving anyone the Government suspected of having terrorist ties were monitored.

         This set off a furious argument about the President's powers, and the extent to which he could circumvent the US constitution, with its guaranteed right to privacy, and protection of citizens against "unreasonable searches and seizures", in time of war, and without consulting Congress.

        Since then a former computer technician with the telecommunications giant AT&T has told how the company co-operated with the Government in illegally diverting internet traffic through its San Francisco operations centre to a virtual listening post operated by the National Security Agency. This not only included AT&T, but also regional phone and internet services such as Qwest.

         Qwest's former chief executive, Joe Nacchio, says the company refused the agency permission to tap into its data lines in 2001, before the September 11 attacks. As a consequence, Nacchio says, the company was locked out of lucrative government contracts.

         

But Mark Klein, the AT&T technician who stumbled upon the San Francisco operation, says Qwest's refusal to co-operate was rendered at least partly irrelevant by the scope of the agency's reach. This not only included AT&T internet traffic, but also web data from any other network with which any AT&T customer communicated.

        "They were basically sweeping up, vacuum-cleaning, the internet through all the data, sweeping it all into this secret room," Klein told the current affairs program Frontline.

        "Your daily transactions on the internet can be monitored with this kind of system, not just your web surfing. All kinds of business that people do on the internet these days - your bank transactions, your email, everything - it sort of opens a window into your entire private life, and that's why I thought of the term 'Orwellian'."

         Six months later AT&T and another phone company, Verizon, were revealed to have turned over phone records with billions of names and numbers to the Government, which denied any breach of individual privacy.

        "Our efforts were focused on al-Qaeda and its known affiliates," Bush said. This balancing act between intrusion and protection has become the focus of intense philosophical and legal debate, and not only because of presumed, but not formally adjudicated, protections within the 220-year-old US constitution, governing communications over fibre-optic lines and via satellite and mobile-phone towers.

        In fact, the latter has found service as a form of homing device by police. Judges are now being asked for - and mostly approving - warrants that allow police agencies such as the FBI to target mobile phones as both location and even listening devices, using technology that is now standard in most phones. But it is national security where the stakes are highest. Larry Mefford, the FBI's former assistant director of counter-terrorism, describes it as "the debate of the 21st century".

        "How much security do you want, and how many rights do you want to give up?" he asks. "I can give you more security, but I've got to take away some rights. And so there's a balance." This was recognised, too, by John Ashcroft, the former US attorney-general. "I think there is an elevated demand or aspiration for privacy, and I think there is a need for being able to use information," he told Frontline.

        "People actually want to be anonymous; they want to be able to do things in public that no one remembers. [But] there is also this need to have information that can prevent massive calamity and tragedy. They're a little bit like rivers of aspiration that are on a collision course, and how, at the confluence of those, we accommodate those two demands is a very serious challenge."

        The program noted that the US Government Accounting Office has identified 200 other government data-mining operations.

        In his interview, Ashcroft explained his new job description from Bush, after the September 11 attacks: "Don't let this happen again."This changed the focus of agencies like the FBI from investigation to prevention.

      "When you talk about prevention," says Michael Woods, a former FBI lawyer, "you're saying to people, well, you can't just focus on one person. You have to cast the net a bit more broadly, and you have to start to work with situations where you are going to collect a lot of data and then try to connect the dots.

       "That means you're going to end up holding a lot of data about ordinary people who have nothing to do with your threat."The irony of this situation is that even as involuntary and unauthorised government surveillance has become such an issue, the booming presence of social networking sites means that a different type of more implicitly personal information is there for anyone to read.

       The social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace have grown at the warp speed that only the internet could allow. Facebook claims to have more than 50 million users, 250 million daily page views, and on the basis of Microsoft's 1.6 per cent purchase of the company in October for $US240 million, a valuation of $US15 billion.

       One of the ways to justify those numbers is for advertisers to have targeted access of this captive market, which is what Facebook sought to provide through a system called Beacon. This alerted the "friends" of a Facebook subscriber to the goods and services their friend bought online through Facebook's many partner sites.

        Privacy takes on a different cast in cyberspace. The hosts of MySpace or Facebook pages could post legions of the most intimate real or imagined personal details about themselves, but would rise as one when their friends found out what they were buying.The descriptions of these sites neatly straddle the generational divide.

        To James Wolcott, a columnist and commentator with Vanity Fair magazine, the social networking sites represented "the insatiable narcissism of self-documentation" of modern youf.For Danah Boyd, a Harvard fellow, PhD candidate at the University of California, and blogger of 10 years' standing, the sites simply represent a continuation of everyday life, where the eternally present parents - "helicopter parents", for their propensity to hover over every aspect of their child's life - mean that the MySpace/Facebook constituency of 12- to 25-year-olds have never known true privacy anyway.

        "They've been under constant surveillance since they were very young," Boyd says. "Kids are constantly being surveilled by people with direct power over them - parents, teachers, etc. Compared to your parents what is a marketer or the government going to do?"
