Former Home Secretary David Blunkett last night spoke out against reported plans to eavesdrop on the public using microphones alongside CCTV cameras. The Sunday Times said police and councils were considering monitoring conversations in the street, looking at devices currently used in the Netherlands. Mr Blunkett, MP for Sheffield Brightside, said that the idea was "smacked of the "surveillance state". "As you walk down the street you expect to be able to have a private conversation," he said. |
