A group of 11 academics have just lodged a protest against the Japanese government’s plans to install surveillance cameras at railway and subway stations, ostensibly “as a way to prevent terrorist attacks on public transportation,” according to the Kyodo wire service.
The government is apparently developing a system to install the cameras at ticket wickets to record images of passengers’ faces in order to “immediately check the data against a database of people the authorities link to terrorism.”
