For example, Lib Dem councils use CCTV to monitor and fine people just as Labour or Tory ones do for smallest of misdemeanours. And whilst I applaud your stance against ID Cards, the Lib Dems want a national road pricing scheme, this can only work via satelite tracking or ANPR roadside cameras, both of which means the state knowing where you are at all times, which I find abhorrent.
