From the BBC:
Bags are to be put over scores of surveillance cameras in parts of Birmingham with large Muslim populations, after local objections.
Safer Birmingham Partnerships (SBP) said 216 cameras were put up, including hidden ones, mainly in the Washwood Heath and Sparkbrook districts.
The cameras were financed through a counter-terrorism fund, but the SBP said they would tackle all crime.
This is the new approach to combating terrorism. Psychological warfare: confuse potential terrorists by ignoring them, confident that they will become so befuddled that they will all spontaneously give themselves up.
It is interesting that there are laws in the UK that say young people are not allowed to wear hoodies because they can use them to hide their faces from security cameras.
You can be sure that not all “local objections” would gain such a response, ie. objections from any non-Muslims. If any of us (Christian, indigenous) objected we’d be ignored or accused of planning crimes, etc.
