#4 UK citizens are the most surveyed people in the world.

There are up to 4.2 million surveillance cameras in Britain. That averages out to roughly 1 camera for every 14 people! Britain is also the worst country in the Western world at protecting individual privacy. The two worst countries in this regard are Malaysia and China, but Britain makes it to the top five due to its constant surveillance.
