Sure hope whoever came up with this loony leftwing idea never leaves Britain

"Council uses spy plane with thermal imaging camera to snoop on homes wasting energy

Our movements are already tracked by CCTV, speed cameras and even spies in dustbins.

Now snooping on the public has reached new heights with local authorities putting spy planes in the air to snoop on homeowners who are wasting too much energy.
Thermal imaging cameras are being used to create colour-coded maps which will enable council officers to identify offenders and pay them a visit to educate them about the harm to the environment and measures they can take.
Enlarge A council has spent £30,000 using a spy plane carrying a thermal camera to determine which homes are wasting energy. (File photo)
A scheme is already under way in Broadland District Council in Norfolk, which has spent £30,000 hiring a plane with a thermal imaging camera.
It said the exercise has been so successful other local authorities are planning to follow suit.
But critics have warned the crackdown was another example of local authorities extending their charter to poke their noses into every aspect of people's lives."

Do you ALWAYS have to exaggerate & mislead w/ your thread titles?

Do you feel like your arguments don't stand on their merits, so you have to embellish & lie to make a point?

"how people are living"

It's gotten so that, when I see one of your thread titles, I know I'm going to open up a link to an article that describes something that is much less than what you are trying to imply.

You do it because you want to alarm people, but it's not the truth.
 
This shite is typical of why The Daily Mail is held in such high regard in this country.

How terrible for a local council to identify poorly insulated properties and then let the householders know of government grants available to lower their increasingly expensive utility bills.

What a bunch of bastards.
 
DEA Pot spotting flights are a common thing here in KY. Where our largest cash crop is pot. Thermal imaging the preferred method as pot plants seem to stand out in infrared images.

Sigh, But that is the way of those liberal bastiches.

BS, viewing how people use energy is seeing how they are living. How would you like it if some plane flew overhead and noticed abnormal amounts of energy being used in your bedroom? Do you want some inspector coming to your door to lecture you about responsible dildo use?

Seriously, they can see if you like to perhaps keep the heat up because someone may be sick or you have more people in your house using more energy. It's none of their goddam business. I shouldn't know how you live and you shouldn't know how I live.

I could see this being warranted if the government pays the electric bill. do they?

Pfff that's a nice example. So you are ok with them flying over your house and inquiring about why certain rooms of your house are using more energy than normal?
It's a civil rights violation, anyone can see that, doesn't matter if it's done for some noble reason.
If someone is using more energy it will show up on their bill and they have natural incentive to handle it.

Nah; they measure water in my town, because they charge for it. They aren't watching "how I live," and your alarmist ranting doesn't change that.

This is what you do w/ your threads; you did it with a couple yesterday, and you have done it countless times since you've been posting. It's completely dishonest.

Yes. An incredible amount of heat is generated from the lighting required for Cannabis farms often located in residential areas, which is then detected through the use of thermal imaging.

Interesting, I thought they only located visual growth in fields or gardens. In any case, one bad precedent doesn't warrant another.

I imagine most of the left is against it when it comes to drugs and would be right to be against it, then why not with against this other far more wide ranging use?

No they don't but they do provide free or subsidised insulation to poorly insulated homes in many cases. People who can't afford it like pensioners, that kind of thing.

Wide ranging use? Identifying poorly insulated houses? It's not an issue for anyone outside the right-wing press.
