Very interesting. I live in Leicestershire, and the number of CCTV cameras that are appearing on lamp posts with data links is unprecedented and unexplained. Joining the dots and making a few assumptions, maybe this explains it. I will video one on the way home and post here.

The UK police cannot be above the law - no one is above the law. The police should be compelled to answer.

If we had a decent government, they'd kick Palantir out of the NHS, the police force and every public service in the country

Has anyone with the authority to speak for either Government ever formally responded to the incredible amount of work you have put into informing the public about this?
It just seems that far from sleep walking into this we may just be going along with it as 'what else can you do' ?

Not that I’m aware of

If they had an ounce of the commitment and integrity you have shown to this and you had a tenth of the funding they all waste,people might at least be able to begin to understand what the intended goals are in this and to whose advantage.
They after all have the obligation of public responsibility!

Private security forces will answer to corporations first, this is a big component of why laws and regulations are relaxed in free zones. Companies can hire their own private security forces to enforce laws that benefit corporations.

Free Ports, present a “a unique money laundering and terrorist financing threat because of their special status within jurisdictions as areas where certain administrative and oversight procedures are reduced or eliminated”.

Could you specify the kind of oversight procedures that are reduced or eliminated?

Why is there not more scrutiny into this by mainstream media?

In that case we need to remind three quarters of police forces who they work for and who pays their salaries. The idea that the help imagines it's unaccountable it's paymasters is outrageous and needs to be addressed. Polices forces are public servants and need to understand that.

Anything available/doable via FOI?
