Surveillance is so common and normalized they don&amp;#x27;t consider the act of collecting so much information itself as a &amp;quot;detrimental harm&amp;quot;.&lt;p&gt;What if that harm only presented itself years down the line? Maybe a creepy stalker who can synthesize mulitple data sets to reconstruct a person&amp;#x27;s movements or possibly use it against them some way (scammers and fraudsters are increasingly using all these leaked datasets to create a more accurate profile of an individual for more sophisticated attacks&amp;#x2F;targeting. Your name&amp;#x2F;address&amp;#x2F;mobile number must not and can not be considered PII since it&amp;#x27;s already been leaked probably ten&amp;#x27;s of times by now).&lt;p&gt;That&amp;#x27;s an incredibly shortsighted comment to try and justify developing a system with not even the most basic of security considerations.&lt;p&gt;I honestly just wish those same people were jailed for 50 years as a result, we&amp;#x27;d see a LOT more consideration in the future if they were held personally liable.</text></comment>

Hope that both South Yorkshire Police and the City council get some serious flak for this.</text></comment>
