2. For starters:

The United Kingdom: the most “advanced” in Europe

• see Douwe Korff, Guaranteeing Liberty or Big Brother: Surveillance in the United Kingdom, presentation at the 2007 Summer Academy of the Schleswig Holstein Independent Privacy Protection Centre (ULD), Kiel, 24 August 2007.

3. DIRECT SURVEILLANCE - The good old British “Bobby”:

4. And the 2007 one:

5. The new guardian:

6. CCTV in figures:

7. “Talking CCTV”:

8. There’s a tiny camera behind the badge ...

9. ... and several in the air (to be used for the Olympics):

10. BIOMETRICS:

The UK DNA database - holds DNA data on 100,000 innocent children, and on 40% of the black population - and on him (and he wanted everyone’s details to go on it):

11 More insiduous: “DATAVEILLANCE”

12 A further trend:

“Bringing protection forward”

not really new: cf. See Sebastian Cobler, Die Gefahr geht von den Menschen aus: der vorverlegte Staatsschutz, 2nd Ed., Berlin, 1978 (the 1st edition was published in 1976).

These are general trends, also notable in other European countries

(and encouraged by the EU, but I’ll come to that in a minute)

Drivers: e-services, e-learning, e-government, e-everything –

and e-identity (ID Cards, e-IDM)

“Joined-up government” / “Full societal alliance”

Terrorism: massive funding (EC security research; US DARPA)

15 “Targetting” by computer, using “profiles” - results inevitably in:

“false positives”: people wrongly identified as abusers/criminals/terrorists

“false negatives”: the real culprits being missed

STUDY THE “BASE-RATE FALLACY”!

16 ALSO:

Inherent biases and limitations, e.g.:

Racial bias in face-recognition software

GENERAL, SUSPICIONLESS MASS SURVEILLANCE

18. And now to Europe ...

... where the same is being encouraged, in particular in the “Third Pillar”

19 BASIC EUROPEAN “THIRD PILLAR” POLICIES:

• Cooperation in police/criminal matters• Establishment of EU databases and institutions:

* Europol

* Eurojust

* Eurodac

* Schengen Information System SIS-I, SIS-1+ SIS-II (& VIS)

* The Prüm Treaty• The principle of “availability”

Guaranteeing Liberty or Big Brother: Surveillance in the United Kingdom 2007 Summer Academyof the Schleswig Holstein Independent Privacy Protection Centre (ULD)

“Policy-Laundering”

“Function-creep”

21 The Draft EU Council Framework Decision on data protection in the Third Pillar - a disgraceful proposal

(see handout)

Data transfers to non-EU countries general

The EU-US “PNR” Controversy

Data collection in Europe by the US authorities – (1):

ECHELON

Data collection in Europe by the US authorities – (2):

SWIFT (et al.)

“Profiling” at the European level

The legal framework:

* ECHR & cases

* ECJ & cases

* COE Convention No 108

* COE Recomm R(87)15

• ASSESSMENT (1):

The current EU rules relating to anti-terrorist measures seriously fail to meet ECHR and EU dp-standards:

The EU citizen is stripped before the eyes of the Third Pillar authorities

• ASSESSMENT (2):The European Surveillance Society is not a democratic one: the Council’s Third-Pillar measures threaten the most fundamental values supposedly underpinning the European political settlement, at both national and international level.In its actions against terrorism, the EU is doing the European ideal a serious disservice by undermining democracy and the rule of law.

• ASSESSMENT (3):At a more practical level, these issues will create serious problems for European and wider international cooperation in the fight against terrorism, including constitutional-legal challenges to such (intra-EU- and EU-US) arrangements in countries in which data protection is given a high level of protection under the national Constitution (such as Germany).They will therefore ultimately undermine, rather than help, in the fight against terrorism and organised crime.
