Watching you, watching them - CCTV closing in

When English soccer fans take to the terraces next season, there's every chance they won't just be watching the game, they'll be being watched watching the game too.

In the latest addition to what civil liberties campaigners have dubbed Britain's "surveillance society", a British company is in talks to supply wireless CCTV technology to a Premier League soccer club's security staff.

Hidden in lapels and hats, miniature cameras would allow spotters in the crowd to beam live pictures from inside the stadium back to a control room where the images could be scanned in real-time for troublemakers and hooligans.
