(46) as a consequence of being filmed by security cameras, having their phone calls l
(47) to or their email messages read, m
(48) just be the weapon we have long been looking for in our war against them. Recent s
(49) breakthroughs have also made it possible to solve crimes that took place decades a

(52) (crime) who are being watched. All of us have now become the stars of films made in shops, car parks and the high street. Records are kept, and sometimes

(54) (person) are copied and stored by persons unknown. Some say this is the price of freedom f
(55) crime, and that the innocent have nothing to fear.
