BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU


Ralph Williams of Cromwell, Otago, New
Zealand, had his car briefly confiscated in a police investigation.
When he got it back, he discovered a GPS tracking device had been
installed behind a panel. He put a SIM card from the device into his
mobile phone, and found it was programmed to text a police detective's
mobile with reports on his location. Williams then put the tracking
device up for sale online, noting "No police to bid on this." Williams
has not been charged in any crime. A spokesman for the New Zealand
Civil Liberties Council said the case sounded like a cross between
George Orwell's "1984" and "the Keystone Kops". (Christchurch Press)
...Which is pretty much how I had always envisioned "1984" would be
implemented.
