Now this is downright creepy. The Orwellian land of Britain is now using airborne IR cameras to detect homes that are wasting energy:
Our movements are already tracked by CCTV, speed cameras and even spies in dustbins.
Now snooping on the public has reached new heights with local authorities putting spy planes in the air to snoop on homeowners who are wasting too much energy.
Thermal imaging cameras are being used to create colour-coded maps which will enable council officers to identify offenders and pay them a visit to educate them about the harm to the environment and measures they can take.
“educate them”. How wonderful of the government.
I can only imagine that trying that where I live would likely result in “education” as well. Only it would be the education by the tax-paying home owners on how they feel about the government spying on their energy usage. I suspect they would educate with extreme prejudice. Not that I am condoning or encouraging such actions.
