  4. The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EUUniversity of Maastricht Studium Generale2007by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk 4. And the 2007 one:

  5. The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EUUniversity of Maastricht Studium Generale2007by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk 5. The new guardian:

  6. The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EUUniversity of Maastricht Studium Generale2007by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk 6. CCTV in figures:

  7. The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EUUniversity of Maastricht Studium Generale2007by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk 7. “Talking CCTV”:

  8. The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EUUniversity of Maastricht Studium Generale2007by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk 8. There’s a tiny camera behind the badge ...

  9. The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EUUniversity of Maastricht Studium Generale2007by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk 9. ... and several in the air (to be used for the Olympics):

  10. The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EUUniversity of Maastricht Studium Generale2007by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk • BIOMETRICS: The UK DNA database - holds DNA data on 100,000 innocent children, and on 40% of the black population - and on him (and he wanted everyone’s details to go on it):

  11. The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EUUniversity of Maastricht Studium Generale2007by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk 11 More insiduous: “DATAVEILLANCE”

  12. The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EUUniversity of Maastricht Studium Generale2007by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk 12 A further trend: “Bringing protection forward” not really new: cf. See Sebastian Cobler, Die Gefahr geht von den Menschen aus: der vorverlegte Staatsschutz, 2nd Ed., Berlin, 1978 (the 1st edition was published in 1976).

  13. The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EUUniversity of Maastricht Studium Generale2007by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk 13 These are general trends, also notable in other European countries (and encouraged by the EU, but I’ll come to that in a minute)

  14. The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EUUniversity of Maastricht Studium Generale2007by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk 12 Drivers: e-services, e-learning, e-government, e-everything – and e-identity (ID Cards, e-IDM) “Joined-up government” / “Full societal alliance” Terrorism: massive funding (EC security research; US DARPA)

  15. The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EUUniversity of Maastricht Studium Generale2007by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk 15 “Targetting” by computer, using “profiles” - results inevitably in: “false positives”: people wrongly identified as abusers/criminals/terrorists “false negatives”: the real culprits being missed STUDY THE “BASE-RATE FALLACY”!

  16. The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EUUniversity of Maastricht Studium Generale2007by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk 16 ALSO: Inherent biases and limitations, e.g.: Racial bias in face-recognition software

  17. Guaranteeing Liberty or Big Brother: Surveillance in the United Kingdom2007 Summer Academyof the Schleswig Holstein Independent Privacy Protection Centre (ULD)by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk 17 GENERAL, SUSPICIONLESS MASS SURVEILLANCE

  18. The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EUUniversity of Maastricht Studium Generale2007by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk 18. And now to Europe ... ... where the same is being encouraged, in particular in the “Third Pillar”

  19. The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EUUniversity of Maastricht Studium Generale2007by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk • BASIC EUROPEAN “THIRD PILLAR” POLICIES: • Cooperation in police/criminal matters • Establishment of EU databases and institutions: * Europol * Eurojust * Eurodac * Schengen Information System SIS-I, SIS-1+  SIS-II (& VIS) * CIS * The Prüm Treaty • The principle of “availability”

  20. Guaranteeing Liberty or Big Brother: Surveillance in the United Kingdom2007 Summer Academyof the Schleswig Holstein Independent Privacy Protection Centre (ULD)by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk 20. “Policy-Laundering” & “Function-creep”

  21. The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EUUniversity of Maastricht Studium Generale2007by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk 21 The Draft EU Council Framework Decision on data protection in the Third Pillar - a disgraceful proposal (see handout)

  22. The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EUUniversity of Maastricht Studium Generale2007by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk 22. Data transfers to non-EU countries general

  23. The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EUUniversity of Maastricht Studium Generale2007by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk 23. The EU-US “PNR” Controversy

  24. The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EUUniversity of Maastricht Studium Generale2007by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk 24. Data collection in Europe by the US authorities – (1): ECHELON

  25. The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EUUniversity of Maastricht Studium Generale2007by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk 25. Data collection in Europe by the US authorities – (2): SWIFT (et al.)

  26. The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EUUniversity of Maastricht Studium Generale2007by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk 26. “Profiling” at the European level

  27. The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EUUniversity of Maastricht Studium Generale2007by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk 27. The legal framework: * ECHR & cases * ECJ & cases * COE Convention No 108 * COE Recomm R(87)15

  28. The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EUUniversity of Maastricht Studium Generale2007by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk 28. • ASSESSMENT (1): The current EU rules relating to anti-terrorist measures seriously fail to meet ECHR and EU dp-standards: The EU citizen is stripped before the eyes of the Third Pillar authorities

  29. The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EUUniversity of Maastricht Studium Generale2007by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk 29. • ASSESSMENT (2): The European Surveillance Society is not a democratic one: the Council’s Third-Pillar measures threaten the most fundamental values supposedly underpinning the European political settlement, at both national and international level. In its actions against terrorism, the EU is doing the European ideal a serious disservice by undermining democracy and the rule of law.

  30. The Naked European Citizen: State surveillance in the EUUniversity of Maastricht Studium Generale2007by Douwe Korffd.korff@londonmet.ac.uk 30. • ASSESSMENT (3): At a more practical level, these issues will create serious problems for European and wider international cooperation in the fight against terrorism, including constitutional-legal challenges to such (intra-EU- and EU-US) arrangements in countries in which data protection is given a high level of protection under the national Constitution (such as Germany). They will therefore ultimately undermine, rather than help, in the fight against terrorism and organised crime.
