From the Beeb.

Law-abiding citizens have "nothing to fear"

The guy falsely stopped said he will appeal the ruling.

I don't live in London or even UK but I hate that these systems are becoming unavoidable. At least if you ever leave your house, lol. As London, so eventually Chicago. As Chicago, so eventually every one horse town. We're building out a world of complete, unavoidable surveilence. Even where you WALK, now.

I hate it. I hate it, and it won't end well.

I'm glad poor Orwell didn't live to see his nightmare come true.
