Astroturfers try to tell us that in the UK everyone in the general public loves police surveillance, but when given a choice, it appears not to be as loved and appreciated.
And you're wrong about how the UK public feels about surveillance. The UK has more CCTVs than most countries and we didn't get here by most of the public hating cctv.
Here is a story from this year where police request men to give a DNA sample, and 500 men voluntarily give police a DNA sample. Are all these men "astrotrufers"?

We have CCTV everywhere. People in the UK object when they think it's misused - councils checking whether people are using the right bins for example - but even then (councils checking whether people claiming to live in a school's catchmet area actually live there) you don't have to look hard for people defending that.
If yu want to have any hope of changing the surveillance culture you need to accept that most people in UK just don't know much about surveillance and wouldn't care much if they did know.
It helps that CCTV is pretty fucking useless. It's hardly the same thing to take a grainy video of you walking down the high street as it is to slurp up every email you've ever written.
