According to a report in the Manchester Evening News, Manchester has become the first city outside London to utilise spy camera technology to keep tabs on all the motorists coming in and out of their city.

Manchester Follows London’s Lead

Looking in any spy shop in London or Manchester and you will be sure to see row upon row of technologically advanced spy camera technology but now governmental agencies are beginning to utilise spy technology, particularly in the form of spy cameras, in order to keep surveillance on motorists going in and out of their city limits. London was the first to utilise this spy technology and, according to the report in the Manchester Evening News, Manchester has been quick to follow suit. The cameras utilise for this are not the sort that will be found in your local spy shop in London but they are proving highly successful anti-crime and terrorism measures.

Spy Shop in London – No Where to Hide

According to the report in the Manchester Evening News, every car that drives into the city will now be snapped by a newly installed network of technologically advanced spy cameras. Spy technology has experienced vast leaps in recent times and, given the current climate, spy equipment has an extremely important part to play in counter-terrorism regimes. Looking in any spy shop in London or Manchester and you’re sure to encounter listening devices, spy cameras, bugging devices and all manner of counter surveillance tools and these are increasingly being used in the public realm as well as the private. According to the report in the Manchester Evening News, 600,000 motorist’s journeys are being captured on the spy cameras each day which makes it nigh on impossible to reach the centre of Manchester without having your number plate recorded. License plate recognition spy technology is now set to become one of the most common employed anti-crime measures.

Spy Shop in London – Compiling a Database

One of the most important features of the spy camera technology increasingly being employed by police forces is that it allows them to compile a database of criminal and terrorist activity. There is a certain sense of concern over the ‘Big Brother’ aspect of these newly installed spy surveillance cameras and, speaking to the Manchester Evening News, James Welch of civil rights group, Liberty, states, “We have no problem with its use to locate vehicles whose owners police firmly suspect of having committed an offence. But it shouldn't be used for mass surveillance, or to target people the police have a hunch are up to no good.”
