how hard would it be to vanish?
« on: 30 October 2008, 21:55:00 »

by that i don't mean do a Reggie Perrin, i mean become less trackable....

I have been thinking about this since i started my new contract, personal smart cards in the transport industry.

At key points in the day i am trackable, like now for example, whilst i am away from home i have a paper trail that leads me to this area by virtue of the bank withdrawls, my phone being connected to a network that can triangulate me and CCTV cameras that most likely have ANPR systems built into them.

so in order to ensure the world and his dog knows less about my life what else would i have to do?

can i just say this is just a hypothetical, sometimes i am concerned about the amount of my life is being tracked......and for what purposes as well?

I think it's a disgrace that so many aspects of our lives are monitored. people say if you do nothing wrong you have nothing to worry about. If you told a guy in a pub twenty years ago having a pint and a fag that he was a criminal you'd have been laughed at. I believe in the need for laws but they appear to be a means to control our lives rather than allowing society to run smoothly. Roll on 1984 and BIG BROTHER will watch YOU

Or join forces with the illegal immigrants, living in the twilight zone, and I do not mean the ones being paid £2.50 per hour. I mean the ones who are working, renting homes, driving cars and seem to be of little interest to the authorities. >:( :-X :-X :-X

I don't think that Joe Public really knows how much BIG BROTHER is listening / watching them.

as has been said, atm's cctv, dvla, anpr, NHS number, NI number, PNC banks and many many more.

motor factors:- reg number for car parts
credit scoring:- postcode and door number and they will tell you your name.
to name a few

if you ever have held a bank account, had a utility bill, signed on, mobile phone, YOU ARE TRACABLE .

If you wana disappear of the scope, the first you should do is ditch the mobile.

Ditch your car, your mobile phone and your credit cards and you can move around a little more freely.

.. and we thought the reason for our crap public transport network was simply down to incompetence and lack of investment.

Pay as you go mobile and change it every month or so....pay cash for the top up cards. Cash in hand jobs would be a little more tricky though.

first thing you have to do is get off the electorial register. close all accounts/credit cards. thats about the bare minimum. depends how far off the radar you want to go.  ::) ::) ::) ::)
