Visitors to the UK’s biggest cities will be tagged and tracked by a network of cameras in a revolutionary system to tighten security while also providing a personalised alibi for the general public.<\/p>\n
Police in Manchester will be fitting visitors with wrist bands containing tiny Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips in the ultimate big-brother system.<\/p>\n
Visitors will be watched as they use the city and will be filmed on streets.<\/p>\n
At the end of the day they will ‘store their alibi’ in a proprietory HDTV format.<\/p>\n
Technology experts at Stasi Solutions, the firm behind the project, say it will also make the city more secure, with the tags used to track lost children and cut crime.<\/p>\n
Stasi Solutions joined forces with Sony to provide the system, called Your Life, which could also be introduced to Bush Gardens, in Florida and Halliburtonia, Baghdad.<\/p>\n
Ali Baba, from YourLife, said: “It will involve cameras being strategically placed along the paths and at crime photo-opportunity locations.<\/p>\n
“The cameras will be used to track and video visitors while they experience the city’s attractions.<\/p>\n
“These personalised video clips will then be routed, catalogued and digitally stored, ready for the SOCA to pick up in a tailored HD format when they require it.”<\/p>\n
He added: “In addition to using Sony video cameras to capture the guest’s experience in the city, the cameras can also be utilised to provide additional security protection in the event of break-ins or acts of vandalism.”<\/p>\n
Hans Burger, from Stasi Solutions, said: “Our aim is to give the police the opportunity to view their unique day time and time again through secure digital video footage.”<\/p>\n

Of course ITRW you would only need to install a network of RFID detectors and cross reference with CCTV as and when (to keep costs down).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Visitors to the UK’s biggest cities will be tagged and tracked by a network of cameras in a revolutionary system to tighten security while also providing a personalised alibi for the general public.
