Whats left of privacy is what you do in your own house, all your physical movements outside your private sphere is being collected and stored for 6 months...
Theres more than 1000 CCTV installations on the streets in the downtown Oslo area, in the area surrounding the train station its 397 cameras alone.
Whats the need for this? Crimerates are still the same, a camera cant change human behaviour in public places, Is it a senseless deprivatory of personal freedom or does it really have an effect on our behaviour?
Picture from the article in the Lov & Data: The figure shows the density of surveillance cameras in public areas in Oslo: one to five cameras is marked yellow, with six to ten cameras, orange, and with more than ten cameras red. Unmarked areas are either free of cameras or were not investigated. Air Image copyright Digital Globe and Google 2009; colored overlay copyright Hans E Pless / UMB 2009

Cameras and other sensory perception ranges have an advantage to humans. They do not tire, do not blink and do not need rest. This means that beyond expanding our own sensory perception ranges, they also change our temporal orientations. An isolated video camera with a limited field of view can, when networked with others, become a part of a bigger system wich can track people as they walk through the city, it can store this movement, dissect it, fast forward it, replay it or alter it in any possible way/ combination.
