"Britain is absolutely covered in closed-circuit TV cameras, ensuring that anyone walking through London is easily tracked by a shadowy group of law enforcement officials in some dark room somewhere. How unsettling and Orwellian! Well, one enterprising Brit decided to see just how long it would take for the cops to show up after parading around in front of the cameras in an 8-foot-tall alien outfit."

    • 8ft aliens? I think that has to be why I love Britain... I'm kinda surprised the police showed up though - I mean, wouldn't that be questioning based purely on racial profiling..?

    • Thousands of UK residents signed a petition a few months ago which was against a law preventing photography and filming in certain public places.
