  • I would also complain about the busses having cameras but I don't pay to get in there anyway...

  • That's it, I'm not going to use the taxi service anymore.

  • THOSE WHO WILL SACRIFICE LIBERTY FOR SECURITY DESERVE NEITHER! The ones putting this in place are repugnant to every Human's rights!

  • like how privacy is pronounced prevecy,..lol

  • What a lot of people in the UK don’t know but I do, is that government agencies and the police can break into someone’s homes without a Judge's permission (like the old days), after Tony Blair took away that right which protect people in society from the State. When these criminals break in, they go through everything in you premises even into your bedroom, serious crimes have been committed and as final insult, plant surveillance devices in your place. Yet people worry about "Big brother cabs?"

  • easy, boycott, nuff said

  • Everyone's a suspect in the UK...

  • UK is a Fascist cesspool.  If I ever catch a cab in Oxford I'll repeat into the camera: "Fascist UK government spy New world order scumbag criminal organization of murdering Imperial Dark Army psychopathic warmongering filth." I'm guessing the Cab may as well drop me off at the Police station :-) at that point.

  • I won't be getting in any taxi's then... if the drivers don't like that... well- get rid of the cameras or loose your income.

  • @DackIsBack it's not drivers who are pushing this, it will be forced by the gov

  • Comment removed

  • I am a 21* year cab veteran in San Francisco, and I guarantee you that the activist who thinks an emergency button is going to do the trick is quite incorrect, there just isn't time in a real emergency. Recording everybody is the democritization of the inconvenience. Public life is public life. I agree with the politician's observation. In SF the main anti-surveillance activist recently had an incident, and he told me how glad he was that the hotel camera recorded it.

  • @christopherfulkerson let's me install one in your kitchen, I am sure you will thank me for that

  • Ah, you British SLAVES. Cameras all over your streets, and now in your cabs. You people are either the biggest exhibitionists in the world or the biggest SLAVES. What next? Government cameras in your kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms? Sounds like 1984. BRITISH SLAVES!

  • 4:06

  •  3:34

  • Voyeuristic perverts are governing us.

  • Since we joined the Lisbon Treaty we have napoleonic law that states guilty until proven innocent, instead of the previous UK common law innocent until proven guilty. I believe that the CCTV is for their face recognition database. You can run, but you can't hide.

  • Make a Facebook page for all taxi passengers talk about the mismanagement of the government and everything that is bothering us. Give like

  • A stool analyser should be placed in every public loo so the fascists can check out our shit. And happens in the nation that kept fought Hitler even after whole Europe was under his boot...

  • That technology is not going to make you feel safer.

    Nor will it have the cabbie feel; or the cab remain, safer. It also won't actually make you safer.

    Gambling with the delicate balance of public & private tradition is both extraordinarily stupid and highly unlikely to yield anything productive, with the exception of urban revanche militia tech contracts.

  • It's been all going on for a long time. Some for your safety, other to be truly intrusive. This information is barely being made public, but the tech has been out for way to long. Just a tip of what they want us to know.

    Dah Lulz

  • 1984 Orwellian New World Order.....many have warned you this was on the way, many ignored & laughed.....its too late to stop it now.

  • Why don't the police put camera's in the board room's and government places (the places where crime is taking place)? Then maybe they'll stop writing more horrid laws, regulations and unpayable taxes, preferably before all us sheeple are dead.

  • The United Kingdom is no longer a free & democratic society. We are an occupied people with a brainwashed population whose minds are controlled. The people won't stand up to the Big Brother, police state Tyranny, because they care more about the X-Factor, "Reality TV shows", McDonalds and Coca-Cola.

    The sooner the people of the UK wake up, the better.

  • are we allowed to wear Balaclavas ?

  • everyone wants to be free from surveillance. and that's understandable.  but as long as there are scuzzy little thieves targeting taxi drivers as there are in most large cities, it's a necessary bit of technology. it's unfortunate, but i'd rather have the police be bored by my conversations and dazzled by my beauty with their eavesdropping devices than have a single taxi driver robbed or harmed in any crime.

  • @caseygomes "everyone wants to be free from surveillance. and that's understandable. but as long as there are scuzzy little thieves targeting taxi drivers as there are in most large cities, it's a necessary bit of technology".

    Sounds like the exact kind of "justification" the system uses. There are NOT organized thieves "targetting" taxi drivers in a large scale, in the way you imply. There are many opportunist attacks. "Numerous" to be taken in the context of the millions of journeys...

  • @CodeTwo2 ..made weekly. If the system GENUINELY cared so much about the welfare of taxi drivers, it would show it by:

    1. Not arresting/charging drivers when they defend themselves against attack.

    2. Not charging drivers with ludicrous crap like "false imprisonment" when they've driven offenders to police stations.

    3. Not trying to fob drivers off with "it's a civil" matter when people dodge fares, even when the drivers supply their details.

    4. Being more concerned about taxi "safety"...

  • @CodeTwo2 ...in the form of constantly evolving rules (with of course, large "fee" increases) that would be more fitting to the level of safety required for space travel.

    ...and more.

    I'm afraid this latest move is simply more of the Hegelian Dialect, Problem-Reaction-Solution bullshit that is always used for "change", because too many people sadly, still unthinkingly swallow it.

    It's time to wake up and get wise, or there'll be nothing left of life & freedom in five or 10 years.

  • Safer? Wtf? From what? These people r a bunch of numb dumb fucks.

  • If the people in England ever read George Orwell's Book 1984 they would see that this is exactly the type of thing that was mentioned in George Orwell's Book 1984. George Orwell (real name Eric Blair) warned people of this happening before he died. This was George Orwell's final warning before he died.

    Don't believe me. Well here is the video called:

    Eric Blair Gives a Final Warning On His Death Bed

    And here is the link below:

    /watch?v=cXIfTNn5bec

  • Fuck that.

  • "Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither." ~B.Franklin

  • Thanks to the immigration policies of Tony (the zionist) Blair, and his Jewish cohorts, (Mandelson, Straw, Levy etc), our women will all probably be wearing burkas soon, so camera's will be fairly irrelevant.

  • police state

  • @StanCollymore shit off back 2 Abjua

  • Listen to the driver from 3:25 . That is called conditional acceptance. This is when people start to question operational issues and details as if it's a foregone conclusion that the move will take place, and they are already considering how certain aspects will affect them.

    There's no rebelling against the whole idea of the surveillance, just weak questions about how it's "inevitable" introduction will play out. It's this defeated "knowing one's place" that allows such mass manipulation.

  • @CodeTwo2 And "knowing one's place" is only a projection of the ever changing social game, for most it´s not "knowing one´s place in the world". Mostly it´s just an automised reaction of submission.

    Imho we live in a world where some have gambling addiction and most suffer from Stockholm syndrom. A few might still be sane... ;)

  • @CodeTwo2 hmm... that's a pretty good analysis.

  • @CodeTwo2 ...i'd add to that, the news media is guilty of "framing the debate" as well...as you said the "inevitable" conclusion was presented as well, inevitable...I agree...it was stated "this is not in your bedroom, it's in a taxi...etc..." the surveillance started out in shops years ago..it's not in your bedroom...then surveillance cameras on the streets...it's not in your bedroom. now in taxis, it's not in your bedroom...how many steps til it's in the bedroom?

  • "Public safety benefits"... er, WHAT "safety benefits"? Utter lying BULLSHIT.

    Like all surveillance methods of recent years, it's nothing to do with actual operational issues at all. There is no huge problem in taxis whatsoever, and even if there was, the NWO globalist regime would be the last to give a toss about people.

    This is simply another step to breaking people's resistance and habituating them to the REAL surveillance society planned for the future.

    Everyone needs to resist this

  • The simple fact of being recorded getting into a taxi (even without sound) should be considered an infringement of civil liberties. This country is getting out of hand. Time to do something about it.

  • They are spying on the wrong people. CCTV should be installed in all places of work of the civil service. Including all government offices, No. 10, the cabinet room & the Royal household, they are owned by the people & it is in public interest to do so.

    If they're doing a good job they should have nothing to fear or hide & therefore no objection.

    One should seriously consider the psychology of the public figures who think it necessary to spy on private individuals. What's the left hand doing?

  • And people still think 1984 is a book of fiction.

  • nice to see europe is as fucked as america

    i thought you guys were smarter then us.well atleast some europeans

  • Why is it that cameras and surveillance are always looking at poorer people yet their is no surveillance for the very rich. We need to put cameras on wall street and Bank CEO offices to watch them since their crimes are far more destructive.

  • TOO MUCH BIG BROTHER EVERYWHERE.........

  • CCTV should be used in streets not eavesdropping on our conversations. rise against

  • Is it also a case of placing CCTV into Private Hire Taxis or just Black Cabs? I would question the wording of Private Hire...If it is a Taxi that is hired by the customer and has no connection to the state owned public transport then surely this can not be inforced. And is it not the choice of the passenger as to them wanting to be filmed or not as the case may be? Or are councils going to force owners of Taxi offices to install these systems as part of their license laws?

  • @MrPolish21 Quite simply, if the law doesn't stretch to cabbies that own their own taxi and they are exempt then people should just use those taxis by way of protest. Saying that the police are the only people who will have access to the recordings is no comfort whatsoever. If individual police officers hear conversations in the course of investigating a crime, ones that have nothing to do with the crime, then they've still heard those conversations. In that sense, undeletable.

  • Install it by all means but it should be the choice of the passenger if they want to be filmed and if the driver does not want to take the passenger then that should be his choice. For as many people who might support this idea their are as many who do not. So the choice should be left down to the individual and in no way forced upon people. On a bigger scale by the council forcing this at the expense of the driver approx £600.00 this is a crafty way of generating money into the economy.

  • why are they pussy footing around just put an armed guard in every taxi then load people on trains to work in camps and if the people dont like it then put them in a smaller prison,,WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE

  • zzWrong

  • Civilian: DHave you got one of them monitoring devices installed in any of your cabs.

    Taxi Contoller: Yes we have them in all of them.

    Civilian: Thanks then I will cancel that then and find one that doesnt have one in and if not I would rather walk.

    We need everyone to start telling people that we will destroy their businessess if they bring this in. They will abuse this totally. They already do more than any of us know. This is just saying they do now

  • @Paultootall1971 The problem is that the notion of privacy has already taken such a battering. One of the focal points for discussion about it recently has been facebook where the vanity and over-riding desire to have it at all costs of some users has actually led to them rubbishing the very concept on everybody elses behalf, putting it down to unreasonable paranoia even in the face of outrageous actions of that company. The other reason is....

  • @Paultootall1971 ...the whole bullshit propaganda campaign of the last ten years or so designed to convince the population that we're constantly being infiltrated by terrorists (in order to gain support for the wars). I'd say that Facebook and the war on terror are two of the driving forces behind turning 'privavcy' into a dirty word. In the case of Facebook there is obviously a financial element. All justified with the whole 'If you're not doing anything wrong then...'

  • Orwell was wrong, he should have titled his famous book, "2011".

    As for safety, it would be much safer to evict all Muslims from Britain. What does is help to videotape their crimes? After that beautiful "Arab spring" they must be happy to return to their own countries!

  • H:AHAHAhA...There was book written in 1940's and movie in 2005. And STUPID British people DID nothing. :DDD I can't laugh about u stupid british people. You attack to libya for democracy but in the homeland, your system is far away from democracy. British people are idot, obese, ugly assholes, who think that everything is ok if there is Bigbrother tv show and fast food in front of you. Why russia won't nuke that country.

  • I work for an organization that uses CCTV form the purpose of public safety. The system is not to be monitored or looked at until a complaint has been lodged or if a crime has been committed as per the Data Protection Act, the sad fact is that this system is often abused and the people who control this system often look at images and have a good laugh or act like perverts.

    This isn't a way forward, and having a camera and microphone in a cab wouldn't make me feel safer, but more insecure.

  • yeah record me on camera when im drunk and goin home with a cab

  • Video Yes. Sound No. Film me all you want wanking off, just don't listen to me moan.

  • Wow, The U.K. is almost as bad as the average highschool in the U.S.!

  • ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ☠ (͡๏̯͡๏) ☠ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

    ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

  • U.K. is pathetic.

  • What?? You can only have privacy in your front room and bed room? Have to be watched by the henchmen of the Queen all the time? 1984!

    The Queen need to be on camera 24x7!

  • Occupy the city council and all govt establishments!

  • Coming soon to the US! We already have our phones tapped, our emails read, and cameras on every corner, along with TSA groping our crotches at every airport and many bus and train stations. Next, you'll be required to take a government goon into your home, a la the Dr. Zhivago scene where the hero returns to find his house partitoned.

  • The British leadership haven't the guts to confront Islam so they think If they spy on the Muslims taxis they are "fighting" terrorism. Gutless spineless jellyfish who couldn't break wet toilet paper. But in their bedrooms with their homosexual lovers they talk like lions.

  • The U.K. is a prison, a concentration camp!

  • @Lychee7000 I agree, is what I call an open prison hellhole, you are surrounded with cameras & your where abouts monitor every day, home violated after the system breaks in, even though not a lot of people know this since they use stealth when they break in, your bank details passed on to the gov, they even know where you spent your credit card, what you bought and how must it all cost, eavesdrop to your phone communication, emails, internet activities, certainly makes people look like hamsters.

  • I no longer get worked up over these draconian things - all people have to do is NOT to speak in the cab, or they no longer take cabs

  • the very fact that they are in there is abuse...insane...unjustifiable­...entirely. won't be visiting there like, ever.

  • You cannot stop evil non-violently!!

  • Goddamn jews!

  • my god

  • 1984

  • Russia making Big Brother references to other countries? What has the world come to.

  • @AstroWaldo They hire reporters and journalists from many countries. The fact that they're called Russia Today doesn't mean the reporter and the journalist/editor behind this story is Russian.

  • @AstroWaldo Why is that the birth right of only globalists medias like BBC, CNN & ABC?

  • Scary that there is not outrage from any of the citizens.

  • 1:27 shes so beautiful :)))

  • This would have never been necessary if the British government didn't start its destructive policies of multiculturalism.

  • 1984

  • Well I may not be in the U.K. but this is simply another step by Big Brother in to the lives of the people. I doubt that the majority of the British want the man in there face all the time spying and prodding in to there private lives. Yes this is in taxis and it should be looked on with a serious frown by those who take taxis in the U.K.. Well one more step by B.B. in to the lives they wish to monitor and control.

  • There is nothing the people of Britain won't put up it seems...

  • You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

  • I remember when the Berlin Wall came down in the 90’s and the German People stormed the Stasi Headquarters in the hundreds of thousands, there was horror, crying, wailing, weeping, sobbing and a grinding of teeth on a biblical scale by the people because of the number of and types of files kept by the Stasi. All the information that the Stasi went to great lengths and trouble to compile on German citizens is now given freely by individual British and Americans themselves. What a horror indeed.

  • Wow! Britant has more cameras than the US. What are they scared of?

  • Next ... Mics and Cameras in Public bathrooms ... UK is the leader of Tyranny & USA is fallowing its foot steps. Rather live in a village then CITY.

  • FAT POLITIANS "I DONT BELIEVE IT WILL BE ABUSED" have fun with that.

  • oh really? they think that they'll catch terriorist because they carelessly talk to the taxi driver about their opertions. NOT A IN A MILLION YEARS!!!!

  • @uqzjvnn They don't want to catch the terrorists. Why will they want to catch themselves?! ;)

  • those who give up freedom for security deserve neither

  • Development = destruction of nature and slaving humans.

    Most developed city = perfect fish bowl!

    What a wonderful brainwash!

  • cough 1984 cough

  • *cough* 1984 *cough*

  • *cough* 1984 *cough*

  • the answer is dont use the taxi`s

  • @tucays1 Yeah, and soon it'll be "Just don't use the street", "just don't eat the food" or "don't speak your mind in your own home".

    We are the victims of a full-scale slow-motion invasion, and it was about high time to something about it 5 yars ago. I can't undeline how much we have become slaves, but at this point, I have no hope and can only laugh as the ships sinks ... and when the ship goes down, that will be when we see the rats on deck.

  • @tucays1 yes the obvious choise of boycott

  • I'm just going to wank every time I get in a cap. That way, they'll think I'm just some wanker :D

  • My God does it ALWAYS rain in Britian?

  • Comment removed

  • "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety".

    Ben Franklin

  • we should also put this in all government cars and offices for our safety

  • What's next are they going to install cameras in public bathrooms too??? FUCK THA POLICE

  • i love big brother, frankly

  • Beautiful but stupid as hell: 1:21

  • Yet anouther step for britan towards the britan depicted in george orwell's 1984...

  • Britain is a joke... beginning with the name "Great".

  • UK looks like a big prision...

  • The conversations are used by special computers who listen all of them and act according to the predefined set of unelected rules by the state or the rich ones. Then the computers are judge more or less who is going to live and the human behaviour. See THX.1138 movie from 1971.

  • the grip is slowly but surely tightening ,one freedom at a time is given away with hardly any reluctance until the final piece is put into place , that's when all the dense sheep will finally see the whole picture and go ''ohh now we get it, hey wait this is all wrong'' but by then anyone that even thinks of saying something negative about the gov, will find their own kids eager to turn them in.

  • With this kind of legislation, innocent people are turned into suspects overnight. ''If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear'' the authoritarians say. If that were true, the very concept of privacy would'nt exist.The UK is a soft dictatorship.

  • Also, never believe them when they say "I dont believe this is going to be abused." All new technology and abilities enabled by science and government will be abused.

  • And to think, the Europeans are more scared of Muslims, Arabs, and at one point Communists more so than their government slowly taking away their basic rights.

  • ''Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.''

  • We have those in Australian cabs. But I think its mostly for the saftey of the driver, we have had scumbags pull knifes on drivers, its not fair on them. Some don't even wear a seat belt in fear of it being used to choke them.

  • This is more police state bullshit. 1984 in progress.

  • Oxford, the main recruiting University for the illuminati...

  • They have been doing this in the US and England for years, I guess they finally decided to make it official.

  • that is bullshit, i would carry a boom box with me, when i get in a taxi, i would pump up the volume and wear a ski mask. I think they need cameras in queens home and in the house of the lords.

  • simple, move.

  • Do any of you know or watch the people from the UK on Face Book? Statistically Speaking more than 75% are Waisted while online. These people are in a Stoop-er to begin with and their Piece of Shit Government knows it so the skies the Limit. More Ponzi Schemes from Government over there with the Little Useless cock sucker PM. Somebody stick a great big BINKY in his Mouth and Please shut that Prick up for ever so we don't have to listen to his WINEING.

  • @BabylonsKing Everyone I've ever known from the UK, since the '70s, has been either an alcoholic, a drug addict, mentally ill, a criminal, or all of the above. I got off Facebook in 2010 and part of the reason was my "friends" in Britain. Usually drunk daily, it seemed. With sadness, I simply won't deal with any Brits anymore.  I've had several steal from me, also. I've had enough.

  • Target is the South Asia taxi drivers!

  • Mother fucker Colonialist bastards

  • What's next, a camera in every phone booth and public restroom?

  • YA RIGHT

  • It's still "WE THE PEOPLE" RIGHT?

  • Feliz Navidad! (That's Spanish for open borders)

  • Who are the sad sucks that sit around dreaming up this invasive crap?

  • @ibullpitt Former and current politicians and the few real owners of our world. You don't actually think they spend their days discussing OUR health and welfare, do you? :)

  • Never trust the govt. when its claiming its because it loves you.

  • Mankind will be like robot then

  • People who trade their freedom and liberty for safety are weak and blind!

  • Uk is looking more like a dictatorship each and every year...soon you guys will also have chip implants in you which controls and checks everything you do..

  • @Thelosttraveller1 Its every western country

  • @Thelosttraveller1 A US citizen saying we're becoming a dictatorship? Heh, I'd accept that remark from a citizen of most other nations, but I don't think you're in a position to comment given your own nation's governance. Dictation through deception perhaps?

  • @GeneStarwind09 nope, not a US citizen :)

  • sure give up your liberty for safety sounds great

  • If you trade a little bit of freedom, for a little bit of security, your at risk of losing both and deserve neither. I wonder who profits off the camera sales? Government officials no doubt?

  • Welcome to the reservation my friends;

    Chiefbigmouth....

  • Is this fucking Communist Russia?

  • adore el comercial!!!!!

  • London tons of cameras. Is it really any safer??? No.

  • not only spying on you, you got to pay for it as well!!!

  • and the Cabbie has to buy it? FUCKING CUNTS !

  • Elizabeth... You Cunt!

  • Wanna watch some V for Vendetta anyone?

  • Comment removed

  • the UK is fucked-up BIG style...on one hand it's a fascist surveillance State on the other hand it's a lideral commie State that allows mass immigration and the trashing of our traditional national identity...that what becomes of pandering to multi-culturalism and losing sight of the Britain it used to be.

  • coming up next....RFID chips, get yours today!!!

  • Well some Taxi drivers will be looking for new jobs. No more conspiracy theories.

  • the fact that people aren't rising up in anger just shows how asleep you all are..

  • Ok, fuck all of you ass holes!! Yeah, yeah, I know, "Govement is spyyng, oh noes!!!". This is the best thing to happen to taxi drivers. My friend used to work as taxi driver for several years, the the amount of times some ass hole would just bail out without paying, the number of "cowboys" who would get a taxi at 2.am on a weekend and then decide the driver was to vulgar or was cheating them by taking a longer route.... I am happy for every taxy driver who will have it a little easier now.

  • This isnt new....this has been inside british taxis for years

  • What about feeling safe from your wife or husband? Surely everyone needs a camera in every room of the house. Maybe a camera in the toilet to make sure your poop looks healthy.

  • Completely Orwellian, no one will dare crack a subversive joke with the driver in case it could be used against them one day.
